All the hospital were friendly empathetic and supportive. In particular, all the doctors on Mr Majeed's team and especially the nurses on the 1st Floor Modular who looked after me so well, Yvonne, Shona, Myrna, Lauren, Ramir to name but a few. Also the lady from catering whose sense of humour was priceless.

I fell in my home and the ambulance staff were fantastic couldn't do enough. A&E nurses were great helping me to understand what came next. The consultant and his staff were lovely and when I was taken for my operation, both nurses and doctors were very kind and put me at ease.

Ciara the midwife (unknown surname sorry) because I couldn't have felt in safer hands. So professional, proficient and practical. She was kind and caring and super attentive to me and my daughter's needs. She made it all an enjoyable experience and I will never ever forget the care and attention she showed us.

The night staff in the children's A&E department are really good especially the nurses on shift on the Monday 28th of August 2017. They were great help and gave great care and I was seen to pretty much straight away when I arrived.

I have now been on the gynae ward four times for two ERPCs following two miscarriages. I cannot speak highly enough of the care, dignity and respect I have received. The consultants, Dr Sasi, Dr Ciprike, and all of the fabulous nurses and care attendants, Briege, Elaine, Miriam, Tracey just to name a few. The ward act as a great team and are great at their job. They showed such professionalism and kindness that will never be forgotten. They really are in the right job, the caring profession.

Melanie, nurse, 2nd floor gyne and Maura, nurse, 2nd floor gyne; both provided care above and beyond what was required and made my stay a much more pleasant one. I needed a lot of assistance and they provided it without complaint and with a kindness that is a credit to the hospital.

Bridge and Emer, Staff Nurses on Ortho, care to my Dad was outstanding. Also, they both took my family very much into consideration and were so approachable, and they were so understanding and caring to us too. They have a very calm way of helping a family cope, and really do deserve acknowledgement of the fact. My Dad was 97, and had never been ill, he passed away two weeks later there, but they made him so comfortable and us too.

The midwives in unit 1 - Maeve, Joanne Patterson and Kym where just fab. The midwives who delivered my baby, I can only remember one of the names, Deirdre Healy. Then there was Emer who took over my care when the midwives shift was over. Emer was also fab.
