I would like to thank the nurses Ruth, Karen and Muireann for their genuine care and encouragement during my recovery in late 2016 on the surgical ward. Will never forget them!

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.

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.
