Aileen was really helpful and understanding when looking after mum after her operation on her liver. Although there was a holdup when the time came for mum to leave hospital , Aileen made sure that everything was explained clearly and the process was as smooth as possible . When we saw Aileen at the follow up clinic she was reassuring and answered all mums concerns with clarity. Throughout all our conversations with Aileen ,we felt that she listened to our questions and answered them in a positive and friendly manner which was much appreciated.

My husband underwent urgent 'Whipple' surgery last year following diagnosis of a tumor in his bile duct. It was a traumatic time for my family, but Aileen was absolutely wonderful and a massive support for my husband and our family. She sat with us at the bedside regularly, patiently explaining the medical jargon and constantly keeping an eye on my husbands progress in a caring, professional and loving manner. She was always at the end of her phone whenever we needed help or advice and even now, 6 months on, we are struggling to manage my husbands pain but Aileen is still happy to make calls and put us in touch with the right people. We are so grateful for her kindness and support. Thank you so much.

Aileen was fantastic, during a very difficult time, she was professional, supportive and informative to my mother, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer while in the MRI. Unfortunately, with only palliative care available, due to her frailty, Aileen was so caring and allowed time for us all to come to terms with the news. She then put in place the next move where my mum could be cared for appropriately. Thank you

Aileen was fantastic during my mums lengthy stay at the MRI. She kept both my mum and the family informed throughout difficult circumstances and was supportive, informative and proactive. I can't speak highly enough about Aileen and the team of nurses in Ward 8 who provided such great care. Thank you
