"My care during and after a hysteroscopy."

Late February 2025, I was admitted to the Day Surgery Unit, on level C within Inverclyde Royal Hospital in Greenock. 

I was having a hysteroscopy procedure done. 

I had never gone through a procedure such as this nor had I been given a general anaesthetic.

From the get go, the staff were fantastic. I was a tad nervous but because of them and Dr Lamont, I found myself well at ease throughout.

All staff were very attentive. Everything was explained clearly and they made sure I was happy going forward.

My after care was excellent! I was given heat packs and pain relief and a much needed cup of tea. Every staff member could not do enough!

Dr Lamont came to speak to me before I left the department to go over what she had done and to ask me how I was feeling.

1 week after my procedure, I received a phone call from Dr Lamont to tell me my biopsies had come back normal. She told me I would have to wait a further 3 or 4 weeks for a letter confirming the results so, she decided to call me herself.

I cannot tell them all how grateful I am to them. Their attitude towards their patients and care is second to none.
