"Waiting Room concerns"

Dear Gynaecology outpatient department at Craigavon Area Hospital,

I am writing to express my concern regarding the environment of the gynaecology waiting room at Craigavon Area Hospital. As someone who has struggled with infertility for many years and continues to face challenges, attending appointments in this waiting room is an extremely difficult experience.

Sitting among women who are pregnant, while awaiting care for my own condition, is profoundly painful. The extended waiting times further exacerbate the emotional strain. This is an incredibly insensitive arrangement for women like me and, I imagine, many others who may be going through similar experiences.

I urge the hospital to review this setup and consider implementing changes to make the experience less emotionally challenging. Whether it involves creating a separate space for women dealing with infertility, or managing appointment schedules more effectively to reduce waiting times, any improvements would mean a great deal to patients like myself.

Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback. I hope this matter can be addressed with empathy and care for all patients.
