All staff in each department were so professional, helpful and friendly in all their dealings with me.

All staff.

Angela or Angie I think in admissions.

Paul Breen, Physiotherapy Dept.

There are three people I'd like to mention in the A&E at the time my niece was admitted twice in less than a week for mental health crisis. Niamh a doctor who met her the twice. Meadbhe a nurse and Anna, think she was a nurse.

High dependency ward in St Luke's.

High dependency ward staff were wonderful. One in particular from Czech Republic I think. Special thank you.

Day nursing staff, physiotherapist.

I wish to thank all the staff at A&E for attending so promptly to my 93 year old mother, who attended with severe burns. She was treated promptly with great care and sensitivity and went over and beyond the reason we were there by directing and advising for aftercare and general care in her home. Thanks again to the nurses who dressed and cared for the burn and Ava in OT who attended her and gave great advice.

Martin Duignan ANP. Martin's professionalism and pace of work are truly admirable.

Mr Ashley Poynton is an outstanding surgeon. After years of suffering and nothing but pain killers, one day of surgery and my life has changed!

Anna ,St Luke's Ward, The Hermitage - most pleasant Polish nurse who was just amazing for the duration of my stay. I shared a room with three other ladies and we couldn't praise her highly enough. She was so nurturing, compassionate and really eased all of our worries. Anna was so genuine and really a credit to the hospital. Thank you so much for your level of care Anna. I hate needles and Anna was careful and gentle every time. It made the experience so much easier for me. Ronnie was another member of staff who really stood out on St Luke's ward. Very warm and personable. Made my arrival so smooth and alleviated all my worries. Exactly what you need before undergoing surgery. Thank you.

Dr Mohammed Muktar, anaesthetic consultant. Went to great lengths to reassure me going into anaesthesia. Also very thorough in his assessment of the range of my neck movement. Full of good humour.

Staff in the orthopaedic ward - all staff were professional but also kind and attentive.

Nurses and doctors in Maternity/Gynaecology, and especially Maria in the Early Pregnancy Assessment unit for her kindness.

Mr Paul Burns

Professor McAdam. Beyond the call of duty. Excellent. A living saint.

Outstanding care received on transfer from A&E to St Mel's Acute Ward from young friendly catering girl to nurse Carol, Dr Leanne and the very thorough Dr David McSharry, who proved very attentive to detail.

All of the A&E and X-Ray dept staff were helpful, courtious and highly professional.

A&E registrar was excellent in her approach to the patient. She was determined to get a diagnosis. Unfortunately I can't remember her name.

Head nurse Margaret Velthuys. She is incredibly hard working, efficient, attentive and cheerful, one in a million!

The nurses and care assistants as well as the doctors and surgeons were all very professional and friendly. Very organised efficient hospital with fantastic staff who looked after me so well. Cleanliness was superb as well as the food.

Mr Matt Hewitt gynecologist and oncologist Ms Flavin were exceptional and put me at my ease, allayed any worries and made everything stress free. The nursing staff were exceptional every one of them.

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.

Medical ward 2.

The doctor and the nurse who takes blood.

The surgical team of Eleanor Carton were phenomenal in their explanation of the procedure and their care. The nurses, particularly the nurse on the night shift in recovery, who’s name was Hazel, was extremely caring and diligent in her job.

If I could offer an award it would go to Paul Breen Physiotherapy Dept., Outpatients Connolly Hospital for the outstanding manner in which he performed his duty. He showed great motivation and his sheer encouragement proves him worthy of a great Physiotherapist and a great asset to this department, not to mention a gentleman who will go a long way in the future.

Midwives on the labour ward. Staff in neonatal ICU.

All the midwives on Maternity Ward especially Rosaleen and Olive, I will always remember how nice they were to me.
