"Incredible nurse who embodied what it is to care"

About: Daisy Hill Hospital / Older People Assessment Unit

(as a relative),

I attended the unit at Daisy Hill with my mother. We were looked after by a nurse from Lurgan who I believe was called Carol. She embodied what it is to care and went above and beyond what was expected of a nurse. She treated my mother with care, respect and dignity that was second to none.

Throughout the day she cared for both myself and my mother, she was very attentive, caring and understanding. She made me proud to be a nurse and it is people like her that made me want to choose this calling. I hope she is appreciated and looked after by the Trust as much as she looks after her patients.

Her abilities should not go unrecognised and I hope like many other great nurses she is made feel valued not just by the department but by the Trust as well. I hope that her gifts are seen and passed on to others that are lucky enough to work alongside this incredible nurse

Hello PaulF1969,

Many thanks for this lovely feedback. It is very reassuring to read. I have to agree that Carol is a compassionate and great nurse as are the others working within this unit.

I am so pleased that you had the privilege of experiencing Carol within our OPAU and she has obviously made an impact on your mother's journey.

I have shared your feedback with Carol and the structures within our service.

Many thanks,

Yvonne
