Professor Flynn and his team of doctors. Also the nursing and care staff on Lane ward. Outstanding care received.

The nurses in the Emergency Department, specifically Emma, Orla, Aideen, Emma F and Rahul. The CNMs Maggie, Sarah and Denise, and ED doctor Ali. The admitting medical doctor Gerry, the agency nurse covering the overflow beds on the day ward, I can’t remember his name, but he was from Italy.

Every single one of the nursing and care staff in the Ormsby Ward during my nine-week stay. They are incredible people with a very difficult job. Our governments should be ashamed of themselves for the way they treat their nurses. Huge thanks to all, Rebecca, Rachel, Orla, Emer, Andrea, Gwen, Amy, Hillary, Michelle, Ciara and the brilliant Francis. Special thanks to Dr Shane and the genius Dr Meghan. Overall Tallaght hospital is top quality.
