"Midwives have all been very attentive"

About: Maternity care / Maternity Ward

(as the patient),

My delivery experience at Daisy Hill Hospital was very quick. The members of staff who looked after me during this time were all very good.

I would particularly like to mention a couple of midwives who were with me during the delivery. Midwife Margaret really was excellent. I also have to mention student midwife Grainne who was also absolutely brilliant.

Up on the Maternity Ward it has been good - very nice in fact. All the staff up here have been very attentive in the care they have provided. They have also explained things very clearly to me at all times which has been good.

The only improvement which could have been made would be if I could have gotten my pain relief quicker - however I understand it was just a very fast delivery and there wasn't much time.

Thank you for giving us feedback on your experience with us in Daisy Hill Hospital, we appreciate it very much.

I will pass on your kind words to Margaret and Student Midwife Grainne, and the staff on Maternity Ward who have looked after you so well.

I'm sorry that your pain relief felt long in coming. We have strict two-person checks to complete when administering drugs and these can take a little time, which sometimes babies don't give us! Thank you for your understanding with this.

Congratulations on your new arrival!

Kind regards,

Arlene
