Outpatients reception

All the nursing staff in both the antenatal and postnatal wards were great. They really couldn't do enough for me. I was a first time mum (Sep 2011) and I went through a difficult labour which ended in a C-section however all staff made the experience of the birth of my son very special. My anesthetist Omar was particularly pleasant and the doctor that performed the C- section (young lady doctor) was brilliant at her job.

Nurses and midwifes in ante and postnatal. staff in SCBU.

Tracey (nurse from England worked in Southampton) works on ante natal ward - absolute angel. Fantastic nurse. Tracey is exactly what a nurse should be, so kind, courteous, knowledgable, conscientious. Tracey made me feel so safe and well minded.

All grades of staff gave an excellant service.

Some of the nurses are fantastic.

Dr Dan (not sure of surname) - a complete gem of a man - AnteNatal/Post Natal, Mary (post natal - used to work in Coombe?) Gemma Gannon, Eileen (Lactation specialist), in fact everyone on duty from 9th-25Jan 2012 on Ante& Post Natal.

A&E staff/antenatal/gynae ward staff theatre staff

The nurse that I met in the Early Pregnancy Unit was so lovely and compassionate.

I was in for a gynae procedure and the radiologist and the nurse that I met were so lovely. It was very invasive and unpleasant and they were so supportive. I don't know the names of the nurses or the radiologist but they were just brilliant.

I would like to thank Dr Donovan and Zena in the Crohn's clinic, they are absolutely fantastic. I have also spent a lot of time in the hospital and have to say from A&E to the ward, all staff are fantastic.

Dr Hoashi, Consultant Endocrinologist. Who decided to start investigative tests on me whilst I was awaiting an appointment at another hospital. (I had been symptomatic for 14 months by this time). It was due to his actions that my bladder cancer was found earlier than it could have been. For this, I will be eternally grateful.

Maternity care absolutely fantastic, from start to finish from midwife, doctors to cleaners, could not have made my stay any better.

Nurses in labour ward were fantastic, couldn't do enough. Doctors in theater were amazing, wonderful people.

I would have to say the nurses that were on night duty and the midwives there were excellent.

The midwives and nurses in the maternity unit are exceptional. Their level of expertise, care and professionalism is outstanding. They understood me and my needs. They helped me to achieve a normal delivery without intervention I am so happy. They are more tuned into women's needs than the doctors.

Kathleen Coakley, cardiac nurse, is brilliant at her job and Dr Cosgrove, cardiologist, also all the nursing staff.

I have to mention two different dept in this little thank you. Firstly to the staff of level 2 ante natal, especially Gemma and Marian, you are truly ladies, the level of care I experienced with ye on my extended stay with ye was second to none, and then my shining light, Karen the scbu night nurse. Your positivity kept me breathing not to say my little baby boy, myself my partner and our baby owe you our lives and our nerves! we will repay your kindness, how we dont know but we will find a way!
