"IUD removal"

About: Sexual Health / Contraception Service

(as a service user),

My first interaction in the clinic was a really positive one beginning with a reception staff member who was courteous and helpful in directing me to the right area within the clinic. Following this, when I arrived in the GUM clinic I met a lovely nurse called Amy, who stopped to help as soon as she saw me, making me feel welcome and then showed me where the waiting area was. Very soon after this, Amy called me through to the treatment room where I met another practitioner called Una. Una introduced herself straight away and was so kind and compassionate throughout the whole appointment, reassuring me all of the time. I had a lot of anxieties going into the appointment and thanks to Una and Amy's care, my experience was much less scary than I anticipated. I know this will help me so much when I have to attend for any future similar appointments. A great team doing a wonderful job. Thank you for your time.

I am so pleased to read you had such a positive experience at the Contraception Service especially being anxious before hand and that both Amy and Oonagh welcomed you, were compassionate and reassuring throughout your time at the service.

We really appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback and I will be sure to pass this onto the team. If you have any queries or concerns following your appointment or in the future please don't hesitate to contact us.

We are always looking at ways to improve the Contraception Service and if you would like to contribute to this in anyway please contact us via email on contraception@southerntrust.hscni.net.

Thank you

Heather
