Bouquets Gastrointestinal Unit, Ashburton Hospital

Ward A5, Christchurch Hospital

Mr Connor and the nursing staff treated me with a high standard of professional care. I felt very well attended to, receiving kindness, support and good skills. Considering the strain our health system is under, the staff are very dedicated and amazing. Thank you all very much.

Everyone on Ward A5 has taken exceptional care of my wife. This is the very highest standard of care you could wish for when in hospital. I feel we are very fortunate in Canterbury to have such a facility. Thank you from a most grateful husband.

Ward A3, Christchurch Hospital

Wayfinding volunteers, Christchurch Hospital

My father was recently admitted to Christchurch Hospital. He was treated like a really important human right from the get-go. A great room, respectful, professional and cheerful staff. Well done to the staff for setting a great atmosphere inside the hospital which must help the healing process as well as helping family members during difficult times. Hard to imagine that you actually enjoyed a visit to the hospital to visit a loved one, but I really did. So well done Christchurch Hospital, keep up the great work!!

The volunteers in the lobby were so amazing. I had the loveliest man show me where to go and it made life so much easier. Thank you, it meant a lot to me.

Emergency Department (ED), Christchurch Hospital I was in ED yesterday under the care of Cardiology. Although The Press reported on how busy the hospital was, I was never made to feel that. Staff apologised for any delays, but they were all unfailingly courteous and professional. There is clearly excellent leadership and we are very fortunate to have this service. Birthing unit and Maternity Ward, Christchurch Women’s Hospital We want to say a huge thank you to the entire team that we dealt with on our stay for a caesarean section. Every single person was friendly, kind, helpful, informative, gave us all the information we needed, answered every question we had and gave us peace of mind that we were in the best hands possible. We feel so thankful to all involved in our stay.

Parkside Ground Medical (PGM), Christchurch Hospital Extremely good and kind care. Nurses and doctors were very supportive and kind. I felt very relaxed being in such good hands. I have nothing but admiration for staff working in the trying circumstances of COVID-19 and staff shortages. Special thanks to my nurse, Philip. You have a very good man there.

To: Josh and his colleagues in IT I would like to send a big shout out to Josh (and several others) from IT. They went the extra mile for me when I was continually locked out from logging on for three days following my return from COVID-19. Thanks Josh and team, it is really appreciated. From: Diabetes Inpatient Clinical Nurse Specialist Kirsten Hatton #carestartshere
