Admitted to maternity ward at around 1.30am and we were offered a warm and friendly welcome. Very dignified and supportive reassuring approach to my daughter who was admitted and stayed for two nights until she was able to transfer to her own local hospital. The lady on reception named Evelyn who took our personal details for admin purposes worked to a very high standard and was incredibly friendly and efficient and also very helpful. Reception staff often do not get enough recognition for their important job.

I injured my foot in 2010 and every time I tried to get a diagnosis, was x-rayed and told it was probably an inflammation. I have suffered much pain and loss of work opportunities and finally had to suggest to a doctor that they should maybe try an actual diagnosis. Waited nine months for and MRI and now it seems they had me walking around on a broken foot all this time. They refused to do an MRI and kept just doing x-rays although nothing showed up. Neither my discomfort in walking nor my wish to have this injury diagnosed and treated were taken seriously. Very Dissppointing.

Incredibly friendly and efficient. The whole team is excellent but Marcus Choo is second to none. Helped me through my lymphoma diagnosis and a painful biopsy. No waiting when I have an appointment. Just world-class service.

Staff making noise all night getting take aways, the nurses are anything but friendly. They need to put away the paper work and look after the patients.

The amount of waste food is a disgrace and the frozen alternatives are a pure waste of money. There are lots of young chefs who would love the opportunity to work in this environment. It is time to go back to basic home cooking and spend money on nursing staff wages where it is lacking.

Our doctor delivered our little girl 10 weeks ago and was absolutely amazing. I had to have an emergency section but I was never scared because this doctor was the one doing it. The care we received was excellent and all the staff we encountered took such great care of us.

I was told my son did not need any tests, that it was a viral infection and not to worry about the previously prescribed antibiotic or that his temperature was still high. Had to return 36 hrs later, bloods and X-ray proved he had atypical pneumonia.

Couldn't have been treated better. All staff I met were extremely friendly and courteous. They could not do enough for me. Thanks all.

Consultant care was very poor. I felt that they only cared about discharging a frail and vulnerable patient into an unsafe environment to free a bed !!!!! Very disappointed that an elderly patient who has worked hard and paid taxes all of their life could be so badly treated when at their most vulnerable.

Terrible

Waiting time three hours for outpatient appointment. Everyone present must have got the same appointment time. Small waiting area with not enough chairs for everyone. Patients given treatment in waiting area and their date of birth. read out. When patients were brought into treatment room doctors and nurses continued to go in and out leaving door open, resulting in no privacy.

Fabulous care and attention in the day service unit from all staff, had coffee in coffee shop on the way home what a little gift this coffee shop is for people to visit, these girls work very hard and always have a smile on their faces particularly girl with glasses on her head. Overall a great experience.

Overall, an excellent experience. All staff were very professional and friendly. They should all be very proud of themselves and their hard work is paying off.

I was sent for a scan up to the gynaecology ward for suspected early miscarriage and the person that preformed the scam was so unprofessional that I could not actually believe it. The first thing this person said was that my own GP couldn't be bothered in dealing with my problem and that's why I was sent to hospital. While doing the scan this person's phone kept ringing and they actually walked away from the table to answer her phone. Then in the middle of talking to me, they left the room. This person kept also throwing their eyes to heaven and did not seem at all interested in doing the job in a professional manner at all. This person then told me they had to go to the labour ward and also threw their eyes up to heaven about that too. I truly felt sorry for the patient in the labour ward that had to deal with this person because one thing is for sure, if I am in labour in future, I would not be letting this person near me.

I would highly rate the opthalmic services provided in this hospital.

Clerical worker didn't seem to be up to speed.

Both the medical and nursing staff on the eye ward were excellent! Very hard working, professional and holistic in all aspects of patients care. Outstanding efficient service and a credit to the hospital!

I was in Surgical North for four months for a brain injury, nurses were excellent kind and friendly. I was a nightmare patient because of brain injury but the staff in Surgical North were brilliant and so patient with me. Thanks for the excellent care.

Place closes down completely at the weekend, should be closed for good, a complete shambles.

A complete disgraceful effort at dealing with elderly stroke patients. Total self-healing, no interventions to assist whatsoever. Beds manual and archaic. A shocking ordeal.

My doctor was amazing doctor. Her medical team were also a lovely bunch of people to deal with. Midwifes also amazing.

Having surgery and a week long stay I was very happy with Sligo Hospital. Not where you want to be, heading into hospital needing emergency surgery! But the care, attention and medical help was above and beyond and it was the very best place I could have been.

After having a miscarriage, I attended the surgical/gynaecology ward and the early pregnancy unit. All of the nurses, doctors, sonographer and staff treated us with the utmost respect. They were all kind, considerate and caring, we were so thankful as it was a very traumatic time for us.

Compared to our first visit, which gave a bad impression, this latest series of visits restored our faith in Sligo Hospital.

The level of care and attention I received during my recent stay in Sligo General Hospital was nothing short of outstanding. Everybody was so friendly and so helpful and so caring. The nurses in Left Wing Orthopaedics are in a class of their own....just super.

As an example of how poor Sligo General is, just watch everyone walk straight past the hand and arm cleaning bottles placed at every junction. No-one but no-one uses them!

A regular visitor to the hospital and the lack of toilets are bad. To make it worse, the male toilets in the main lobby (outside the church) are a disgrace. There is nearly always one of the cubicles locked even though there is no one in there. I believe some member(s) of cleaning staff lock it from the outside so it saves them having two cubicles to clean (I've witnessed this), I unlocked it before and the toilet was working perfectly. Obviously the cleaning supervisor never checks this bathroom?? Other than that, the hospital is good enough. Although security could be a little better as some patients who need supervision are allowed roam around casualty and other areas annoying visitors.

The assessment unit was untidy looking. I opened a household rubbish bin to dispose of a coffee cup to find a patient's ECG clearly visible!!!!!. (I have a photo to prove it.) On asking a member of staff wearing a navy uniform if he could help me, he stopped, I noticed he did not have a name badge on so I could not identify if he was nursing staff or cleaning staff etc... I pointedly looked where his name badge should have been and explained that I needed some info regarding my mum and wondered if he was able to help. I asked who he was. My answer....A PERSON!!!! I thanked him and said it was ok, never mind, he just walked away!!!! I quickly found a staff nurse (badge in place) and asked who he was, the unit manager!!! Very poor leadership skills shown. There was a sink in the cubicle however it was not used by any staff member for the eight hours we were there!!!! Scary. The doctor was very helpful and informative on discharge. On leaving hospital there was a staff member (in uniform) smoking beside OPD exit, inside the no smoking zone!!

My mother had an excellent experience under her doctors, but most importantly the diabetes and medical nurses who were very professional. The after care received by the diabetic nurses since my mother left hospital, particularly with assisting my father through telephone supports, has been first class and of great benefit to him. Overall the experience has been excellent.

I was in Sligo hospital in 2012 for the birth of my first child, which should be an exciting time, but instead was a living nightmare. I couldn't wait to get out of the place. The staff were rude and sharp, after I had my daughter I needed pain relief and was almost afraid to ring the bell for help because the staff were complaining that they were understaffed -hardly my fault. I cried myself to sleep most nights. I ended up being stuck in there for six nights as I got a bad kidney infection and chills after having my daughter. One nurse was so rude, demanding I go to sleep at certain times when I explained to her that I sleep when my partner comes in to look after baby. She snapped at me one day to strip the baby down as there was a doctor coming to check her over and I was waiting ages for one and had to wrap my baby back up. I had my daughter at 3pm and all I got for the rest of the day was 2 slices of cold toast and a cup of warm tea - hardly substantial after being in labour all morning. The male nurse who delivered my baby was about the only nice one there. Also the day they finally let me home I was waiting from 9am until 2pm to actually be seen. I'm pregnant now and maybe have a bit more guts to say something to them but I can guarantee I will be out the door as soon as I have my baby. They shouldn't treat people like that, especially as having a child is so overwhelming and emotionally challenging. I hope my experience is better this time around.
