Referred to STH (following routine cervical screening) for colposcopy. Treatment was originally deferred as at the time I was pregnant. Staff were extremely helpful at that time explaining options and alleviating any immediate concerns.
This pregnancy ended in a miscarriage a few months later so I returned to STH in order to proceed with the colposcopy and treatment.
I was extremely impressed with the service and people who looked after me. There was genuine concern and sympathy for my miscarriage experience (the team actually recognised me from my last visit which made such a difference as I was nervous and emotional about the experience), the procedure was comprehensively explained to me and there was even an offer to hold my hand when I needed it.
A fairly unpleasant procedure made so much better by being treated by such lovely caring professional people. They were wonderful.
