Dr Condon and his team, and the anaesthetist.

A midwife called Marie, I called her my granny, she was outstanding.

Dr Bartels and the nursing team who unfortunately I did not get their names. The professional care they provided to me was second to none. I was treated with the utmost dignity, care, understanding and compassion. If the rating is 5 being the highest I feel they deserve 10. Thank you to each one of them. Eileen Hyland.

I recently had a baby under the care of Dr Heather Langan. She was fantastic from day one of my complicated pregnancy. Very easy to talk to and explained everything so well. All her team were excellent and the other obstetric teams I met on different occasions. The care on the maternity ward was brilliant. I ended up having an emergency section, the care I received in theatre was unreal from theatre operatives, nurses and doctors...I felt very much at ease. On my return to maternity ward, again the care was excellent.

Nurses, ward management and healthcare assistants are keeping this hospital going. They were all clearly overworked and understaffed, very obvious to see, especially since I work in healthcare myself. They were shouted at by consultants, patients and relatives, in full view of patients and still gave their us everything they possibly could with a smile on their tired, pale faces.

Ward 4A nursing staff, each and every one. Prof Mark Corrigan and team, who saved my life. Brilliant, thank you. Kitchen porters and cleaners were fun and funny.

The ICU nurses are angels.

The staff in A&E were very attentive and lovely with my daughter when she was admitted.

Nuala, gentle care, simple language, explaining what’s happening, calming .Timmy (porter) anticipating our needs.

Toni the HCA from CPL was absolutely amazing. I couldn’t thank her enough for her kindness.

I would like to thank Nurse Niamh from Resus and Dr O’Sullivan for the care, respect and dignity shown to my father.

The nurses, especially Amy. Could not give enough of her time. A very caring wonderful human being. Medical2 ward. I was there nearly a week.

Sophie (English accent) on 2 East, just a fantastic nurse from start to finish. She helped me latch baby with such ease and kindness. Nothing was too much trouble and she always took the time to explain things thoroughly and never made me feel silly for asking questions or clarifying things.

The two midwives/ nurses in Colposcopy are incredibly nice and very good at making you feel at ease.

Nurses in A&E

Mr Stafford

Dr McManus I think was the consultant's name - a nice man. However his reg Dr Hassen. A female doctor went above and beyond. I was 21 weeks pregnant and my bloods had been taken and weren’t ready at the end of the day. I was discharged but Dr Hassen informed me she would ring me the minute they come in. Dr Hassen was true to her word and left a copy for me to show my GP. Dr Hassen showed the highest form of professionalism with her honesty, integrity, kindness and reassuring manner. It was extremely refreshing.

I attended the clinic for a cat scan. The nurse (Carmel?) was fantastic. She explained everything so well and put me at complete ease. great care from start to finish.
