"Gynae OPD/ Early Pregancy Assessment Unit"

About: Dorset County Hospital

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone at the above, for superb support during a really difficult time. Having a miscarriage is confusing and distressing at the best of times, but the Nurse Specialist was so supportive and compassionate throughout, and kept both me and my husband well informed about what was happening. The sonographers were all very professional and compassionate also. Since miscarrying, i have had several calls to see how things were, and the 24 hour phone line was reassuring- and any messages were returned promptly. Appointments were available quickly, and at convenient times. Also, they have promised to monitor me closely next pregnancy (despite this only being our first), with more regular scans- I really couldn't have expected any more if we had gone private.
