"The staff on this ward have been absolutely A+"

About: Craigavon Area Hospital / 1 North Cardiology

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

I was transferred to Craigavon hospital from daisy hill 4 weeks ago, the staff on this ward have been absolutely  A+, they are very good and work really hard. The communication with most staff is fine sometimes some of the doctors talk a bit fast and are hard to make out. I'm used to having a single room in the hospital so I'm more than happy with this one its a great size, although a toilet of your own would be even better. The food has been good the menu is just very similar and after being here for 4 weeks it has got very repetitive. There is also a limited range of fruit and vegetables more of  this would be great and they don't provide low fat spreads. I really support the visiting rules I think its better not having a lot of visitors. Its good having a TV in room but when I arrived there was no remote the staff then gave me one but it was broken therefore  I had to purchase my own. The shortage of blankets hasn't been great as it can get cold at night and I have had to bring in my own.

Thank you for posting about your experience in Craigavon Area Hospital.

I am sorry to hear that you find the menu repetitive.

I will pass your comments on to the Catering Manager who regularly reviews the Patient menu and will take into consideration your feedback as part of the review process.
