Hematology dept. Neurosurgeon and team Mr R. Carr.

Raul in A&E was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. He was sympathetic upon consultation and approachable afterwards which made a huge difference.

Dr. O'Sullivan, neurosurgeon.

Keady - outstanding in her explanation of croup.

The nurses were amazing even though there was a severe shortage of staff. They did everything they could to help and give information when we didn't understand.

Mr Hewitt and his team were brilliant.

Dr Eireen A&E. One of the most caring and professional doctors we have ever met. This was our second visit to A&E in 2 weeks. We were so lucky to meet such a wonderful doctor. I would also like to mention the wonderful nurses in the A&E department. Thank you all so much for the wonderful care you gave me.

Dawn tea lady in ward 2...A very kind woman who could not do enough for everybody. She went the extra mile always with a smile.

Mr Ciaran Brady - such a competent, kind individual.

CDU and A&E were both fabulous.

Ambulance, nursing, medical and porter staff. Professional, knowledgeable, efficient.

Dr Relihan, Keelin Brosnan, Dr Rabia and all the members of the Breast Care Unit in Professor Redmond's Team. All the Staff on Ward 4A. Thank you.

All nurses working the A&E department of Cork University Hospital. They are brilliant, well mannered and very good at their job. Much better than any doctors I met in there.

The nurses in the acute medical ward were outstanding and Dr Caroll was brilliant.

Dr Rob in A&E really took his time talking to me and listening to me, and explained things better than any of the other four doctors I saw over the course of two visits, including a consultant.

I was extremely well looked after in ward 4A. Everyone was very caring and attentive. Theatre nurse was a real angel. Mr Andrews is a surgeon who is not only world class, but also listens to his patients concerns and fears. It was the best hospital experience I have ever had. A million thanks to everyone who was involved in my care.

I attended with my son under the care of Mr C Brady for surgery. It was pretty rushed due to urgency but Mr Brady was excellent and explained everything. When we arrived, we were admitted very quickly and sent to Seahorse where we met three lovely student nurses Joanne, Alex and Aisling. The care was excellent throughout. We were transferred to Ladybird for the night. Again care was excellent. Everything was dealt with very efficiently. Mr Brady saw me in Recovery and again on the ward with his team. Couldn't fault the place. We are from Galway and having worked and attended GUH, CUH leaves it in the shade. Excellent. Keep up the good work.

Dr. McCarthy was excellent.

A&E Staff

Dr B Sweeney is always excellent in his care of me as a patient.

All staff at radiotherapy dept were excellent.

Ward GA. Nurse Angela, Deirdre, all of them just so good.

Staff in Neurology Ward.

Dr Brian Sweeney, Consultant Neurologist for the care, empathy and knowledge he possesses and for his reassuring presence.

Des Murphy respiratory

Outstanding nursing care from the highly skilled nursing staff in GBSS ward CUH. These girls know their stuff and are highly professional, energetic and most of them dual qualified. A special mention to James, Emer, Treasa, Hazel, fantastic nurses who are a credit to their profession.

Paediatric nurses in day unit were so empathetic, helpful and individual in their approach to caring for my 2 yr old, especially an outstanding student nurse. Paediatric anaesthetist, Dr Aherne was amazing. Not only did she explain everything in detail to us as parents but I was speechless when she proceeded to sit down and play on the floor with my 2 yr old and then listen to his chest. I've never seen him so at ease with a stranger let alone a doctor. Her attention to his needs was superb.

Aisling in paediatric ward is fantastic. Just coming to the end of a hospital visit with my 2 year old and while she is clearly overworked with less than enough support she did an outstanding job throughout my 48 hour stay. She more or less ran it all single handedly.

Paramedics, doctors, consultants and nursing staff were efficient, professional and kind considering the busy circumstances they are working under.
