Dr O'Boyle and Galvin. Also nurse Jimmy Lyne medical assessment unit and Evelyn, and in surgical day ward, Ciara, Tracey, Lena and Anne.

The nurses. I don't how they are managing in this chaos!

All staff excellent. Junior doctor - Dr N. Thomas, gastroenterology department is especially excellent.

I wish to recognise Dr Ara Francis, SpR Trauma & Orthopaedics for his outstanding care and attention. He always goes that extra mile to help and he is a true gentleman, efficient and approachable and his reassuring manner is second to none. There are not enough words to describe this man except a real professional who will go a long way in the future.

Paul Breen, Physiotherapy Dept.

If I could offer an award it would go to Paul Breen Physiotherapy Dept., Outpatients Connolly Hospital for the outstanding manner in which he performed his duty. He showed great motivation and his sheer encouragement proves him worthy of a great Physiotherapist and a great asset to this department, not to mention a gentleman who will go a long way in the future.

Mum was in a number of wards as she has been in and out of hospital for a while. ALL STAFF can't do enough for you. A special little thank you to the staff on the Laurel Ward - they have just been amazing.

Dr Naomi Burke and her staff, very, very nice,,friendly and professional.

ICU and Redwood nursing staff.

All of the nurses in the CCU unit were amazing, made the ward feel more like a home than a hospital. Also the catering staff went above and beyond for me.

Dr Marie O'Conner, Dr Dolan, the nursing staff in Holly Day Hospital and the staff in Cardiac Diagnostics and Radiology all gave excellent care and attention.

John the care worker on Maple ward. He is from the Phillipines and was attentive and ever helpful. A credit to the hospital.

Staff on the surgical day ward and Dr Kneafsey in the dressing clinic, also Nurse Jessie. My mam is 90 and gets a bit anxious. every member of staff from the staff at reception, the lovely gentleman who checks us in, the nurses and doctors were so kind and treated her like royalty. At first we thought we were just having a good day but each time we go there her treatment is excellent. Heartfelt thank to you all.

The care and professionalism of Mr Mayilone Arumugasamy and Eileen Daly was fantastic. Many thanks to both and their colleagues.

Dr Mike Allen and his team. Nurses and care staff in Redwood and Laurel. Although very busy, they were there when I needed them.

A&E Department. I arrived in by ambulance with a fractured shoulder. I was treated promptly and well taken care of despite the department being clearly understaffed. The staff were excellent and provide the best care while being under immense pressure. Unfortunately I did't think to take a note of any of their names.

Prof Conor Burke. Respiratory. Excellent doctor and a lovely down to earth person.

Dr Orlaidh Kelly.

A&E and Cardiac Diagnostic Unit

Mr Michael Allen, nurse Maeve in Laurel Ward.

Cardiology recovery programme

Dr Clare Smyth and her team, also Mary Kennedy IBD nurse. All of Ms Smyth's staff are fantastic but the outstanding care came from the IBD nurse. I can't thank her enough for the care she gave my daughter.

The nurses in the Laurel Ward are truly outstanding.

Dr Trevor Duffy.

Geraldine & Amy in the children's ward. Just very friendly, always spoke to my son and explained every thing to him.

The nurses in the acute medical assessment unit were great!

A&E staff - brilliant, couldn't ask for better.

Martina in A&E was so efficient and professional in her manner and really is quite exceptional in her dealing with patients. Also Dr Paddy was so clear in his explanation and took his time to ensure that I was aware of everything. They are amazing, really impressive.

I would like to thank Dr Niall Tierney who went out of his way to ensure the papers which his colleagues failed to forward to Beaumont Hospital were followed up.

Beatrice the nurse who comforted and reassured me through my painful frightening procedure. Dr. Azimuth who did the procedure. He is great at getting into veins and other hidden places of the human body!
