I attended the EPAU on 27th Feb after learning I had a missed miscarriage over the weekend. From the moment I arrived on Monday morning I was treated with so much empathy and respect from every member of staff. They made me feel so comfortable and relaxed in what is a very sad situation. I was seen by several team members and the nurse was very comforting and lovely.
They gave me all the information I needed and choices of my treatment. No pressure and they kept reassuring me that I could take as long as I wanted and needed to decide the best way for me to deal with my mmc.
The Dr sent me for another scan and ensured I was OK before I went home. I was waiting for my BP to be checked and the Dr came and spoke to me while I was waiting to be seen...to check I was OK.
Upon my return mid week to complete my treatment I was seen within the hour and again, the staff were amazing.
Yes, there is a wait but there are many many women who are seen by that department and you have to expect a wait. I would recommend this unit God forbid you ever have to visit a EPAU.
"Amazing staff & treatment"
