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.

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 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.

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!

I think the nurse was Marie on the surgical day ward. Due to complications I had to stay over night and she kept checking on me every 20-30 minutes and at 2am she had to inset a catheter and she continued to check me at regular intervals throughout the night and came to check how I was and say goodbye after her shift next morning.

Nurses were very rude and told me in an aggressive manner to go sit back down. They told me I had eaten a full bowl of cereal in the morning. At this stage, it was 2pm and I'd had 2 spoons of cereal at 6am. Not the best hospital experiences I think, and in the middle of talking to me, the nurse would go to the other nurse to have a chat.

I am filling this out on behalf of my late father who was a patient on the fifth floor. There was one nurse named Gillian who was fabulously kind, considerate and caring and a credit to the hospital and her profession.

The nurses in the waiting area for surgeries are excellent. Because my child is only four and was fasting, they brought him in first for his arm operation.
