"The amazing midwifery team at CAH"

About: Continuity of Midwifery Carer Service / Emerald Team

(as the patient),

Since finding out I was pregnant in August 2024, I’ve been with the wonderful midwifery team at Craigavon Hospital. My allocated midwife is Gillian and she is an absolute shining star. She is so kind, supportive, attentive, considerate, and a fantastic communicator. 

I’m usually someone who can be quite anxious, but Gillian has made me feel really calm throughout every stage of my pregnancy. Most importantly, I feel heard and listened to, even when my questions are silly ones like the colour of my poo lol (sorry, Gillian!!!). Nothing is ever a bother for Gillian - she always makes me feel cared for and like I matter. I’ve genuinely been blown away by the care I have received thus far. I wouldn’t change any part of my experience whatsoever. 

I would also love to shoutout the wider midwifery team at CAH, the students, as well as anaesthetist Dr Rae and the lovely consultant Dr Henderson. I have had a fantastic experience with each and every person I’ve dealt with so far, and I am so grateful to all of them. Keep doing what you’re doing! You are all awesome. 

Thank you for making me feel supported and looked after Gillian and team xx
