Before I was going into surgery the care was amazing, was put to rest in an comfortable state of mind. Can not praise the nurses and doctors for making me relaxed even though I was feeling emotional.
Excellent care during my recovery from open heart Surgery. Staff were so attentive and caring.
I went for an endoscopy of my oesophagus and stomach today and was very apprehensive about the procedure. All the staff were exceptionally competent and friendly. The procedure was carried out very efficiently, quickly and painlessly. Anyone considering such a procedure should not worry about it as it is in not even slightly uncomfortable.
The only minor quibble about my experience is that the signposting to the Endoscopy unit could be clearer from level 2.
I was transferred to the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast Ward 5C from the Ulster Hospital on Sat evening, 5th Feb (My Birthday) suffering from severe chest pain for past 5 weeks.The treatment I recieved from the minute I arrived was exceptional, the whole process commenced immediately and I was informed I would be going through my procedure the following morning, Sun 6th Feb (Thanks to Sister Julie). I went for an aniogram to discover the route of the problem and was found to have a blockage. The team led by Mr McNeice advised they were inserting a stent/bridge to repair the damage, which they did immediately. The whole process was over in 45 mins and I can't thank all those team enough. I returned to Ward 5C by lunchtime on Sunday where Nurse Geraldine looked after me brilliantly as did all the staff. I was returned to the Ulster Ward 20 at 6pm on Sunday and discharged home on Mon 7th Feb - Amazing service. I also need to thank Mr McCaffrey, Cardiac Consultant, Ulster who referred me to the Royal.

Wound post surgery was red and sore. Seen promptly and treated with such kindness and care by Nurses Caroline and susanna and doctor Michael Warnock. Thank you all so much
I was seen quickly and I found all the staff to be extremely friendly and upbeat which was very reassuring. The hospital seems to be run efficiently and I would recommend this hospital 100%.
Each and every member of staff were absolutely excellent.. I could not have been better cared for and for that I wish to thank them very much.
I am so honoured to have been treated in the A and E Department of the Royal Hospital Belfast. Having had a bad experience in a different Hospital I cannot put in words my gratitude. The professional care I was shown has helped me to restore my confidence in Hospital Staff, and I will always remember the comfortable chairs, the ease with what attention I was shown, it just came naturally. It was not that I alone got `special treatment` we all did. I am campaigning for better pay for Doctors and nurses who work their socks off to give us patients the best possible opportunity to recover .
How can I suggest a better way of improvement when the best is what they did - I know from first hand. If any member of our Royal family asked me to recommend a Hospital for urgent care I would immediately send them to the Royal Hospital in Belfast, knowing that they want the best, I can guarantee that with no excuses of being run off their feet due to the Covid-19 outbreak. At the Royal one would never guess that this nasty virus is so seriously affecting so many.
Easy to access the hospital, friendly staff
I spent 7 nights on the thoracic ward and a further 8 nights on the Neurology ward.
All staff were great could not fault the care I received.
