I received excellent care during the birth of my baby in October. I found this to be the same care on all three of my children. One midwife, Rebecca, went above and beyond with her care, she was working overtime due to staff shortages and she was excellent and a true angel in the care she delivered. I will always be so thankful to her.

Carmel the theatre nurse was just an out-of-this-world, perfect, lovely person. Linda the midwife who minded the baby until I got out of theatre was so lovely. The staff on postnatal, so flawless. I had such a good experience.

All staff were excellent but Dr Assim, the consultant in ED, deserves special mention. He was exceptionally thorough in caring for my father during the 48 hours he spent in OLOLH ED.

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.
