"Amazing support at my colposcopy"

About: Pilgrim Hospital / Gynaecology

(as the patient),

Having a smear test and getting letter saying I need to go for a colposcopy and we all do in this day and age look what things are.. that's when panic set in. 

As I got to the ward my anxiety was getting a lot worse, I was shouted for my height, weight and BMI, I was then shouted though by Fola, this where Harry asked me questions and then also explained each detail for reason I was there what will happen and if need a LLETZ .

I then went though to where was doing the colposcopy, I was shown where to put my bits that was blanket to put over my self, Harry explained what he was going to do , they had a new machine and Harry caught something which made us all giggle , they said need to do a biopsy, you get to see everything on screen but as they doing biopsy this was moved away. Susan was stood talking me while having this treatment and helped so much she a credit to the team.

Fola was so friendly and caring , after they took biopsy Emma then explain about next 4 days , how long take for my results, Emma is also a credit to the team , I have been though a fair a lot in my life and for me I was made feel like I was very important to them and that I was not just a patient, thank you for a good experience in the hospital

So a massive thank you to Harry, Fola , Susan and Emma😃

Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely feedback, after your visit to our department.

We understand that it can an anxious time when visiting one of our clinics. Our staff are aware of this and try to ensure that everyone has a positive experience with us. I'm so pleased to hear that this was the case for you.

It's great to read that you got detailed information and also managed to have a giggle! I'm sure this will help others to feel at ease before their own appointments.

I will pass on the lovely comments to my colleagues, it will be a lovely morale boost for the team.

All the best,
