I was warmly welcomed and led though to an appointment room - where I was asked to nip into the loo and provide a pee sample and then had a blood pressure check.
Once I had changed into appropriate gowns for the examination I was introduced to the Consultant Kristin who talked me through the steps of the examination. Being further introduced to the other care assistants present - it made 5 of us in total in the room, and given the nature of this examination/procedure you might imagine feeling feeling vulnerable and rather exposed - this team of ladies - who exuded calm experience and caring natures with 100% professionalism and excellence in their manner throughout. Given the position - I could not have been made to feel more relaxed or comfortable. Indeed My blood pressure had dropped immediately following this examination.
I chose not have the coil fitted on this occasion - but if the waiting times were shorter - I would certainly chose if possible to have this department fit it.
Following up - after being forewarned I had anticipated a degree of discomfort and only needed to take one more dose of pain relief just once again in the afternoon - and also very little blood/discharge on the day. None at all the next day.
I truly felt informed - respected and cared for, my questions were heard and responded to.
Thank you - for the provision of this excellent quality of care and service.
Ever grateful and much appreciated.
