After having a heart attack recently, our mother was taken by ambulance to Causeway hospital. The ambulance and paramedic staff were excellent and performed their duties perfectly. On arrival at the hospital, the ED staff continued with the high standard of care.
Our mother was taken to Altnagelvin hospital until a course of treatment could be determined and transferred back to Causeway the next day.
This was the beginning of an almost 8 weeks in hospital.
During her time in Causeway, she was in different wards: Medical 1 and 2, Medical Assessment and Coronary care. In all these wards, our mother was treated to a very high standard of care. The nurses had a heavy workload, but they always attended with a smile, a comforting word and great compassion.
After exhausting medical care, the decision was made to move to palliative care. At this stage, not only did our mother receive exemplary care, but my sister and I did also. All the nursing staff and the doctors could not have been more helpful and are a great credit to their profession.
"A great credit to their profession"
