I have always found smear tests very painful so eventually my GP referred me to the Gynecology Clinic at Stobhill Hospital in Glasgow.
Although it is slightly easier now I'm still very nervous when attending this Clinic. On this occasion Staff Nurse Kayleigh immediately put me at my ease by saying this appointment was all about me and we would simply go at my pace. When it became very painful I was afraid I would have to go home without the test being completed. However Kayleigh was determined we would complete the test and she (unusually for this test on someone my age) used the smallest instrument especially designed for virgins. I was so grateful to be able to have this test and it's all down to the kindness and patience of Staff Nurse Kayleigh. I feel her skill with patients should be rewarded by a promotion!
