My son was admitted to Ward 21, Altnagelvin Hospital for elective surgery. On the day of admission we were shown to his room and a number of different staff introduced themselves and carried out all relevant checks needed for surgery and sign in. He was kept in overnight (which we did not expect) and the ward were very accommodating and advised that due to his age we could stay overnight and did not need to worry about visiting times. Every staff member in Altnagelvin Hospital that we dealt with in the two days we were there from nursing staff, students, surgery staff, support services and cleaning staff were all very friendly and in chatting to my 16 year old son on a regular basis and keeping his mood upbeat. We were well supported and nothing was a bother to any of the staff. Thank you for the support and care all the staff showed my son during his stay.
"Execellent care from staff"
