"Express appointment"

About: Dunbar Hospital / Sexual and Reproductive Health service

(as a service user),

Unfortunately after a very recent break up I was told by my ex I would need checked for an STI. I was able to get an express appointment for that day.

After speaking to a nurse about what had happened during the relationship, I realised that it was a sexual assault that had occurred.  The nurse gave me information of a charity to contact to get some help, and advice and also about talking to the police if I wished to.

Dear Cat lady in the North,

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback for our service. I am pleased that our nurses were able to help you access an appointment quickly and were able to signpost you to services which may be able to support you. I will be sure to pass this on the rest of the team.

Thank you.
