"The most positive experience"

About: Altnagelvin Area Hospital / Maternity care

(as a service user),

I was recently seen by a midwife named Natasha. It was the most positive experience. As a first-time mum it is a very worrying time and from the moment I rang foetal assessment to I was being seen to and cared for by Natasha, I felt I was truly being listened to and not made to feel that I was wasting anyone’s time.

Natasha put me at ease straight away and helped ease any concerns I had. It was obvious she was having an extremely busy shift but she didn’t allow that to take away from the care she was delivering to myself.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude and thanks for her in this very scary and stressful situation.
