I had to attend Altnagelvin Gynae Department last year following a smear. I was a blubbering mess when I met the consultant who instantly assured me everything was fine and I would just need a quick op under general. Got that op in Altnagelvin in September, no problems. The Consultant and Anaesthetist came to see me pre op and explained everything. Nurses were also amazing.
Just yesterday I received a text to say I would be having a telephone call from my consultant today. Of course, again, I turned into a mess with nerves. My consultant rang at exactly the time given and immediately I was assured I was fine and explained in detail everything I needed to know. I hope I am correct but I think he was called Dr McDonald. I can only praise him and his team. Given the times in which the NHS receive negative comments, I wish to point out it's not all bad. My experience with the gynae dept has been top class.
