I had a knee replacement in the Bons Nov 2019 and stayed on St Colman's ward. They have an amazing team there led by Maureen. Majority of the nurses were great. I have been an patient of the Bons for years along with other hospitals and always preferred the nursing care in the Bons. While in as an orthopaedic patient, I was so lucky as were other patients under this nurse's care - staff nurse Pamela Kenrick was absolutely outstanding. The care I received from her was first rate. We in the room used to sigh when her shift was over and not because we were dreading the next nurse but because she was/is such a special nurse/person. I watched while she educated students or newly qualified nurse, some would listen but you could see some didn't. She was firm but fair and tried to instill in the younger nurses/recently qualified/students, the importance of basic nursing care. If I ever need another orthopaedic surgery/procedure, I would ask my consultant if I could have Pamela looking after me. I was frightened and upset during my stay and she put me at ease and reassured me. I just can't say enough about nurse Pamela Kenrick. Every ward should have at least one Pamela. I will never be able to thank her enough but hopefully she will get to see this comment and realise what an amazing nurse she is.

Professor Aiden McCormick excellent doctor. Hawthorn ward staff all very good. Endoscopy unit all very caring. Also the catering and porters all very good.

There are some staff who believe in the work of healthcare for the future, for the rights of all to be treated equally and fairly, they are every day heroes.

All the nurses in Rowan ward and Dr Dolan and Dr Patricia Guilfoyle.

Clarence - he is a nurse at the infectious disease department. He is great, very caring, he explains everything and also replies quickly about any doubts and what to do! Great person!

Nurse in unit.

The girls in the actual labour room, when you are actively in labour. They are fantastic.

Dr Doyle, Fiona and their nurse (sorry I don't remember her name).

Was there from 5 o'clock with my son. Loads of people came in after him and were were seen by a doctor even though I had a doctors letter stating my son's situation. I was still there waiting at 9 o'clock. Nurse was very rude, said my son wasn't serious enough, so I had to walk out after going to the nurse twice...just had enough.

Dr Derek Cawley was my spinal surgeon. A caring doctor and an excellent surgeon.

Liz, Anna, Connor, Lisa.

I have to commend Dr Donal Harney as being the best in his field of pain management. He took time from his busy day to phone me. Each time he has administered a treatment he has gone out of his way to explain the procedure.

Dr Barend Botha and the other doctor who saved my baby. Michelle on the maternity ward. Chloe the midwife. Rocie the midwife. The catering staff on the maternity ward. The cleaners who were all kind. The nurses aids, especially Mary, all on the maternity ward, so many people to acknowledge for the amazing level of care we were shown. My baby was born on the 22nd April 2020. Everyone was so good to me during a horrible time for all the staff. They couldn't do enough for us. I am in awe of all the staff.

The doctors, nurses, waiting staff, cleaners - they worked as a team. Fiona, I think she was a charge/teaching nurse, everything was done by the book. Her energy was electric and she inspires the staff.

I would like to say there was a nurse in the early pregnancy unit who went above and beyond. She gave me time and helped me through a very difficult experience and for her I am so grateful.

Sandra, Emma, Dr Murphy. All very professional.

The midwives were all so lovely, very well informed and explained everything so well. I couldn’t fault them on anything.

Lactation consultant Maried O'Sullivan (recommending the consultation to all new mothers that want to breastfeed, very engaged, great advice, very supportive). Midwifes from Gallarus ward - Nora, Catherine and Maura. Midwifes from labour ward - Joanne and Emer. I would like to thank to all these women for being so caring, being there for me when I needed help and advice. They made me feel at ease and were extremely supportive as I was having my first baby. Regards, Agnieszka Wozniak, Stephen Morrissey and baby Maksymilian.

Hubert Gallagher, urology, this consultant (and his team) was very friendly, polite, professional and far exceeded my expectation based on every previous experience with consultants.

The doctors are second to none.

All of the nurses and doctors from were excellent. Very kind and caring towards our son and answered all of our questions in great detail. Didn't rush us at all.

Derek the paramedic and Anna the nurse in ED.

Mark Dempsey, Catherine Astbury and all the midwives on antenatal ward.

Nurses. I'd like to thank you all for your wonderful care. You have a lovely combination of professionalism and caring and I appreciate it very much.

Anne-Marie (midwife from Dungarvan). Very knowledgeable and friendly. I felt very safe in her hands. I wouldn’t have been so nervous if I had known such a good midwife was on duty.

Nurse Mary Claire A&E. Outstanding nurse. Nurse Ann Marie Plaster Room. Dr Sahjid in outpatients. Superb.

Dr David Mulcahy and all his staff, orthopaedic unit Bons Cork. Physiotherapists also.

Bieta, a kind nurse who unfortunately went off duty soon after I arrived.

Nurse Lauren. Dr Kumar.

Attended A&E on Thursday 5th March. Excellent care by all staff, but in particular the porter (Richie) who wheeled me to X-ray for his wonderful kindness, cheer and reassurance. Thank you so much.
