Dr Y Kayyal and his team were amazing. This man's bedside manner and professionalism were second to none. All staff on ward 4A including kitchen staff, housekeeping, stoma nurses and everybody involved in my care were some of the nicest people I have met. Their care and compassion was greatly appreciated. My surgeon, Mr S Killeen, an outstanding man at what he does who made me feel at ease every time I spoke to him. I'm forever grateful to him and his team.

The three doctors managing hundreds of patients in the A& E.

Ward 4A nursing staff, each and every one. Prof Mark Corrigan and team, who saved my life. Brilliant, thank you. Kitchen porters and cleaners were fun and funny.

Dr Ronan Curtin and staff who carried out coronary angiogram procedure.

I was admitted to A&E and all were very professional and attentive. I had to sleep on a trolley for one night but it was ok.

The radiotherapy department provided an excellent, efficient service.

Surgeon Mr Micheal O'Sullivan was exceptional and all of the nurses were fantastic. I am free of horrendous pain thanks to my surgeon and for that I am forever grateful.

Mr Plant and ALL his team in Ward 1A for the care and dignity shown to my elderly mother throughout her stay in the hospital.

Dr Deirdre O'Mahony

CNM Anita, excellent person. Many thanks to the Rapid Access Prostate Clinic.

All staff in A&E including the FOH admin, clinical, theatre, ward, cardio support and catering staff - exceptional care and support.

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! Many thanks to Adrien O'Sullivan, Emmett Andrews and Mike Burke for looking after me also. Thank you so much, am forever grateful.

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.

Oncology

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.
