Care and attention second to none

Posted By BT07

"Care and attention second to none"

About: Antrim Area Hospital / Emergency Surgical Unit (EMSU)

(as the patient),

After having Bowel Surgery in January 2025 I have been attending the EMSU (Emergency Surgical Unit) at Antrim Area Hospital for some follow up treatments. The care and attention from the medical staff, Drs and Nurses is second to none. CT scans with results and Dr consultation all on the same morning and on occasions treatment as well.

This service gives a patient a feeling of confidence despite all the negative press one can hear about the NHS.

Many thanks from a satisfied patient.

Good afternoon BT07,

My name is Nuala O'Connell and I am the ward manager of C3 and EMSU in Antrim Hospital.

Firstly I want to thank you for taking the time to share such positive feedback of the service provided in the Emergency Surgical Unit in Antrim Hospital. We are extremely lucky to have this service in this area. Not only does it benefit our patients to have diagnostics and a doctor assessment, and as you have mentioned sometimes treatment all in the one day, this also helps to take the pressure off our emergency department, therefore benefiting the wider population of the Northern Trust.

I will ensure your feedback is shared with all of the team, and again thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

Many Thanks

Nuala O'Connell
