All the staff on the children's ward were extremely kind and caring. Taking so much time to talk through things and very attentive to patients and parents.

Staff in op ward after the recovery ward were excellent, transferred to elective ward and again nurses were outstanding as well as so nice. Healthcare assistants the same and catering staff. Could not fault anyone on the two wards I was looked after so well after bilateral knee replacement. I'd love to name all but can only remember nurses Ruth, Catriona, Hilda, Lux but to name a few.

Too many to mention, all were absolutely excellent.

Deirdre on the ward. This nurse was excellent and was able to respond to my needs as she had treated me previously and familiarised herself with my notes. The nurse in recovery was just brilliant. She had treated me previously, I wish I could recall her name. Dr Coulter was excellent, he was reassuring, calm and very quick to get back with me for follow-up

All the staff in the endoscopy day centre were excellent.

The nurses in the Orthopaedic recovery ward were excellent.

Nurse Catriona Mc Sweeney - Anaesthetics /Theatre for her caring attitude.

Mr Dolan. Staff nurses in pre-assessment, outstanding.

Dr Helen Doran was superb.

All doctors, nurses and ancillary staff in ENT.

Mr Gerard O' Leary, ENT and his excellent team for outstanding care and treatment.

D .Declan Reidy and his team for excellent care and professionalism in the orthopaedic department and the follow up by the excellent nurses on observation and elective wards.

The entire team of doctors and nurses in the ophthalmology ward/department were fantastic. So supportive, encouraging, professional but approachable. I have had many experiences with hospitals and staff in my life but SIVUH is a standard bearer in my opinion. The team work so closely and so well. I was terrified coming up to my operation but they all helped to make it a positive experience. Due to an unavoidable delay when I got to theatre I was on the table for 20 minutes before the surgeon arrived and the anaesthetist and nurses stayed with me chatting and made a scary situation into one where I ws laughing. Would not have believed I woukd have been so relaxed. The entire staff are phenomenal and they work together

Mr Ireland and his team were amazing, providing outstanding care both during outpatient appointments and surgery. All the nurses in the Victoria Ward (Level 2), especially Linda and Breda, were attentive, caring and friendly.

Consultants, nurses and healthcare assistants were brilliant through out my visit.

I would like to nominate all staff and nurses and ENT doctors on Morris Ward - their kindness and care were excellent. My husband was treated with kindness and courtesy.

Mr Pat Flemming, Dr DF O'Brien.

The nursing and care staff of both the Orthopaedic Observation Ward and the Elective Ward were just outstanding. The level of care and the continuity of care was outstanding. This hospital runs an exceptional high care ethos. It is clean and spacious and food was very well presented.There was an exceptional reassuring warm atmosphere about the place so conducive to good recovery. The physios were sensitive and processional. The doctors did an outstanding job from admission to discharge.

Nursing staff on surgical day ward for their exceptional care.

Pat, Margaret, Deirdre - nurses on duty during my stay and Eileen - kitchen staff- for their care and kindness and helpfulness.

Kevin, intern on duty on 3rd Feb, in the dermatology outpatients department. Reason being was the young man listened to the patient and due to his inexperience asked the consultant to review the case. My admiration goes to you for your intuition.

All the staff and especially the nurses on the 2nd floor of Victoria Wing. Nurses Linda, Joanna and Pat and others whose name I regretfully forget all treated me so kindly and with great respect. The care was 100% excellent.

Dr Eoin O Brion (plastic surgeon) and plastic surgeon with him, all theatre staff and all the staff in Victoria ward in the south infirmary hospital. Excellent care by all and even better then excellent results from surgery.

A&E was so good the HSE shoud reopen the department.

Dr John Coulter, a true gentleman who cares and understands a person's fear when they present to him and all the staff on the Victoria Ward. The nurses and domestic staff were second to none, some of the nicest people we have ever come across in this country's health service. A true credit to the hospital.

Mr Sheehan Excellent surgeon, good communicator, excellent follow up

Dr. Peter O Sullivan and his team were outstanding when my daughter , aged 3, needed her tonsils removed - many thanks..

All of the children's ward staff were very kind and helpful.

Huge thanks to Mr Ireland and all his team, outstanding everything! :)

Night nurse Caroline in the private ward. Very nice girl and nothing was a problem at any time of the night. All the nurses in the private were lovely and were under pressure.
