We met a lovely paediatric nurse in the triage department of A&E and Helen the ANP. Fantastic care and very thorough. Cared so well for my son who sustained an injury to his knee after falling.

All the staff on the postnatal ward were outstanding and so kind, caring and supportive. Couldn't thank them all enough.

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.

Clinical nurse manager in ED. Kept patient's needs under constant review and ensured patient's greatest comfort possible.

Nurse called Bridget, also Mary Kate and Angeline and Orla were ok. Carer Yvonne was nice.

I would like to say a special thank you to both Lisa and Clare from Antenatal Department. They were both amazing.

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.

I had a session with a physiotherapist and was extremely impressed with her knowledge, her ability to explain and her professional manner. 5 star.

Nurse Lililian Caffrey was outstanding (Gynaecology).

Orla - training nurse excellent Robert - nurse/carer excellent. I can't remember the nurses name, very short blonde hair older - excellent.

The 6-floor staff are excellent, they looked after my dad as best they could.

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.

All the midwives I met were amazing. I spend all my time in the ante natal ward.

The nursing staff in the children's ward and orthopaedic surgeons involved in her care were exceptional. My daughter is three and was terrified. The staff talked to her as a child and made her so at ease. We cannot thank you enough.

The nurses in paediatrics were wonderful.

Fracture Clinic Staff

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.

My experience in the X-ray department was excellent. It seems to be a very well run dept. We had to visit it five times over a six-week period. The whole process was efficient and professional.

The ED nurses seem so overworked and challenged by the enormity of the workload. It is difficult to give your best in this terrible, overcrowded and unsupported position.

Midwife on ward called Emily, she explained everything in detail and was excellent. Also in delivery suite Aine was an amazing midwife and kept me informed from start to finish of labour.

Mariella?(nurse on Gynae ward). Kind and so helpful nothing too much trouble

The lead nurse on pm duty on male medical ward (ground floor) on 15/8/14 was excellent. Unfortunately I don\'t have her name.

Nurse Susan Murphy and nurse Maura.

I was under the care of Joan and Delores and all the nurses in the gynae ward. Their level of care was exceptional

Helen Byrne

Alison Scottish midwife!!

Helen in the minor injuries was lovely. In x-ray the 2 radiographers Veronika and Damen were so nice and had me in tears laughing despite my 4 hour wait to get x-rayed.

All the staff in the oncology unit.

From walking into the ED dept until leaving the staff were absolutely first class. They work under ridiculous pressure and are severely understaffed yet their attitude towards me was first class. Other patients need to understand just how much pressure these staff are under due to massive overcrowing and volume of patients coming through the doors. As a former employee of the Lourdes I must admit I'm in awe of how they maintain control and focus under the abuse of patients and the demands for their service. I worked there for almost 3 years but had to leave as it was putting serious strain on my personal life and I just couldn't cope with it any longer. Fair play to those ED staff up there who give absolutely everything throughout their shift.

Aoife - staff nurse, Sinead - head nurse. I have to say you should be very proud to have both worked for OLOLH, so professional, so caring, kind, considerate, respectful.
