The nursing staff

Nurse Mary Twomey Cypress Ward, Mr David Quinlan, Mr Des Winter, Binu Cypress Ward

Dr Gerard McVey, Radiotherapy Dept.

I was under the care of Dr Justin Geoghegan who was outstanding. He was kind, considerate, explained everything and answered all my questions. The surgery was very successful and I have had no side-effects or pain since. A true professional and incredible human being. I would highly recommend this consultant - he is a treasure and we are very lucky to have him.

Nurses Reg, Rita and Melody on Hazel Ward. Ann in Urodynamics. Outstanding care from all the above nurses.

Dr Declan O' Keefe, SVPH, understanding, efficiency and empathy.

Dr Paul Murphy and nurses on Cypress Ward...Laura, Eileen, Natalia, Emily, Jenny to name but a few!

Claire Glennane, oncology nurse, for diligent care.

All the staff without exception were excellent.

I was in the day ward having a hysterscopy and polypectomy and biopsy. The nurses were so kind to me and I felt very well cared for. I was so impressed by the standard of care I received. They were very reassuring and just very, very kind. The food was really nice. From reception to staff in theatre and day ward, care was outstanding. Thank you so much.

Mr David Healy, Dr Emer Kelly, Dr Niall McDonnell, Dr Ronan Ryan, the Nursing Staff on the Hazel Ward, the Nursing Staff in Theatre/Recovery, the X Ray Staff, the dieticians, physiotherapists and admissions staff. Also Veronica in theatre.

Dr Paul Murphy and his team.

Cloyd nurse manger, excellent care, and nurse manger in Cypress, so understanding, excellent care, and nurse Aniu. All nursing staff very good

It's almost unfair to pick anybody out as everybody was outstanding, but Clare and Grainne in the Maple Centre are truly outstanding.

Mr Denis Evoy and his secretary Joan. The staff at Elm ward - I remember a few names like Leisha, Joan, Kathleen - there was a few more but unfortunately I don't remember the names.
