"Colposcopy appointment"

About: Stoke Mandeville Hospital / Gynaecology

(as the patient),

Your booking system for a colposcopy appointment is like stepping back in time. I get sent a letter with conflicting telephone numbers and advice on it.

When I phone to rearrange the appointment the answerphone says the person only works Wednesdays and Thursdays. So I call back on a Wednesday - still not there. A very kind helpful person takes my message but I'm now waiting to be called back.

Why can I not email you? Or even better - an online booking system.

The wasted resource (both yours and mine) that such a simple task causes is very frustrating.
