"Very lucky to have a great bunch of lovely staff"

About: Craigavon Area Hospital / Breast care services Craigavon Area Hospital / Mandeville Unit Portadown / District Nursing

(as the patient),

Please please can we have a permanent Picc line Dr. 

I was extremely grateful to Pauline who relocated my Picc line as my other line was not giving blood. I did not relish having to go back to Belfast City Hospital and this meant I did not have too.

All of the staff within the Macmillan Unit and Breast care unit are amazing and give amazing care to all its patients. We are very very lucky to have such lovely caring staff.

This would make it a lot better for patients not able to make the journey to get to Belfast City Hospital.

The District Nursing staff are also another great asset and very busy team looking after the area we are very very lucky.

I just think we are all very very lucky to have a great bunch of lovely staff looking after us and long may it last.
