A&E nursing staff were exceptionally caring

Mark Dempsey, Catherine Astbury and all the midwives on antenatal ward.

Nurses in ED were excellent towards my 19-year-old son who presented alone with appendicitis. They were so kind and kept me updated until I got to Galway. Recovery also called me after his operation which I really appreciated. Then when transferred to surgical ward, again treated so well by staff.

Midwife Helen Kelly on St Catherine's ward. She advocated for me when some staff were ignoring my pain and did not assist me.

Margaret HCA on St Nick’s Ward. Prof Tobassim and his team.

Dr Ramona McLaughlin, Nurse Corrigan and Reg Emma, all excellent.

A young female doctor Aoibhinn. Spotted in less than a minute the cause of a problem that has caused me years of pain and illness, and carried out a simple, slightly uncomfortable procedure there and then, that has massively improved my health since.

Thank you to all in cardiology in particular Dr Sandra Quinn for her care and compassion shown to my mother during her stay.

Dr. M. Tubassam and his team in the cardiology dept. Also the nurses in ICU and other wards. I needed urgent life saving surgery which I received and the whole procedure was explained to me afterwards. I was visited each day by the team and my progress was carefully assessed.

I cannot remember all the names, but there wasn't one nurse in the maternity ward that didn't go above and beyond to help. I had an emergency section and opted to breastfeed and if it wasn't for all of the help and advice I got, I would have been lost..Amazing women!! Even the fabulous dinner ladies made my day, and I just want them all to know how thankful and appreciative I am, for the 5 days I was there, they made it easy for me.

St Gerard’s ward. All of the staff.

Surgeon on staff

Orla Barry and her medical team for their expertise and very professional manner of patient care. Special mention to Martina and Cara for their excellent nursing care on St Michael's Ward.

S/N Noelle and Dr Sarah

The Breast Check staff were excellent. Mr. Sweeney and nurses Aisling, Kerrigan, Therese Howley and Patricia Finegan.

Nurse are fab. So sorry I'm not able to name them. They work so hard and are so busy, yet they take time for the little things, like putting up the head rest on your bed. Bless our Irish nursed xx.

Noelle, Cahla, Christine in the labour ward. All the staff in St Angela's.

Orla Turney (Tunney), paediatric nurse.

Elaine - staff nurse in resuscitation in A&E was outstanding. She was so kind to my sick mum yet competent, professional and explained what was happening to my mother. Will be forever indebted to her and the brilliant staff.

I would like to thank the outstanding cardiology team for all the clear and concise information they gave to me. They kept me informed every step of the way with my treatment and care and really went above and beyond. The people in particular I would like to thank are Dr Darren Mylotte, Dr Brian Hynes and Dr Danny O'Hare. Thank you all so so much!!!!

The stroke unit staff and Dr Tom Walsh were great. Everyday some nurse or doctor checked to see how I was doing emotionally and I felt cared for.

Aoife the nurse was amazing. Dr Moylette and Dr Nash were also outstanding. Two amazing consultants, could not be happier.

The nurse at the A&E department was outstanding and listened to me, unlike past visits to other departments within UCHG.

St Bernadette's paediatric ward, staff were amazing.

The team was excellent.

Vascular and the ward were excellent.

All Staff in St Anne's Stroke Ward.

The radiologist was absolutely lovely, warm, caring and kind. I cannot remember her name only that she was Australian. If she looks after all the patients like she looked after me, they are very lucky.

A&E staff are angels in disguise. Wonderful care given to my son who had suspected meningitis.

Roisin, St Pius Ward and Imelda, St Nicholas' Ward. Both of these women deserve recognition for their compassion and hard work. Roisin- you are a star! Made me laugh so much! Also, the urology consultants looking after me- fab people!
