"The staff are great"

About: Craigavon Area Hospital / Trauma Ward Northern Ireland Ambulance Service / Emergency ambulance response Northern Ireland Ambulance Service / First responder paramedic

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

I arrived here a couple of days ago via an ambulance, it took around half an hour to 45 minutes to come and the paramedics on scene were brilliant. Once I arrived at the hospital, I spent a few hours in a cubicle in the emergency department before I was brought to the ward. The staff are great and are giving me good feedback and updates too. The food is very nice, and the variety is good too. I am comfortable here and the facilities are great.
