“The classes were absolutely fantastic!”
My partner and I would like to pass on some positive feedback. We recently attended the series of antenatal classes with Eleanor. The classes were absolutely fantastic! The content was pitched perfectly and Eleanor is a brilliant presenter who ran the classes with humour and enthusiasm. Thank you so much!

“She took so much time and care to explain the process to me and put me at ease.”
I really wanted to express how wonderful the team is at the colposcopy unit. They are all so kind and patient. The nurses that saw me on Tuesday at my appointment is such a credit to the hospital. She made me feel so at ease for a procedure that is not particularly pleasant and can be really stressful. I have been in and out of hospitals since my teens for chronic illnesses and I have to say this was one of the best medical experiences I have had. She took so much time and care to explain the process to me and put me at ease. Last year, I had a similar experience with another lovely nurse. I just feel it is so important for women to feel at ease for these important procedures and that it takes the fear out of the whole process I think it is so important to recognise when things are done well and when it is, clear how much care and passion the health care workers have for their jobs

“Your prompt actions, expertise, and dedication made all the difference during such a difficult moment.”
A special thank you to all the midwives and nurses. You were always so caring, attentive, and supportive. You made me feel safe and reassured every step of the way, and I will never forget your kindness. After my baby was born, I experienced some complications, and I am incredibly grateful for how quickly and professionally the entire team responded. Your prompt actions, expertise, and dedication made all the difference during such a difficult moment. Thank you to every single member of the team, without exception, for the excellent care you gave us. Your compassion and commitment truly show that you love what you do. Working in healthcare is not for everyone, but I am certain it is the right calling for the people who cared for my family and me.
