"Appointment under the two week rule at Women's..."

About: Royal Bolton Hospital / Gynaecology

I was referred to the Women's Health Unit under the two week rule because of post menopausal bleeding.

My GP had given me clear information about what would happen, this was repeated by the staff nurse responsible for my care.

I had to wait for a scan.

The scan was done by a technician who gave me clear information, was patient and made sure I was comfortable.

They explained what they were doing throughout the process.

They gave me feed back on their interpretation of the results of the scan, sensitively and immediately.

I was then seen by the staff nurse who had already introduced themselves and explained the process as they showed me from the waiting to the scan area.

The staff nurse was professional, calm, empathic and gave me clear information throughout our meeting.

They asked appropriate questions and gave me helpful as well as new advice and information.

My husband was with me for part of the process, they were equally empathic and sensitive to him, as well as to our relationship

I was impressed by the way my symptoms were investigated, as well as by the way in which I was given the outcome.

Thanks to all involved, especially to the Staff Nurse.
