"Couldn’t have done today without you"

About: Post-Menopausal Bleeding Specialist Nurses / Consultant-led Post Menopausal Bleeding Service

(as the patient),

I had trauma from a past smear test. I have unexplained bleeding and haven’t had a smear test in quite some time due to trauma. Today I had a scan and a smear test. I went there with the intention of having no smear test at all. Well, Dr Youssef and Yvonne were absolutely outstanding. Dr Youssef put me at such ease within ten minutes that I agreed to try the smear test. He kept his word and gave me a guarantee that he would stop then and there if I said stop. I didn’t need to say stop because he was fast, professional and efficient doing everything I needed. Yvonne, the nurse, also was outstanding and played a huge part in making me comfortable to have it done. In fact, without Yvonne’ I definitely would not have had it done. Doctors, nurses etc are so undervalued and, in my experience, you only ever really hear from the public if it’s negative. Hardly anyone thinks to say, what a good experience I had today at whichever clinic, GP surgery or hospital ward. Thank you to Dr Youssef and Yvonne. I couldn’t have done today without you.

Dear Ca2056

Many thanks for posting such lovely feedback with regards to your recent visit to Perth Gynaecology Outpatients. We do value this. Having any invasive procedure is daunting and we do appreciate this so always endeavor to put the patient at the centre of what we do. I am delighted that you felt this way in the care of both Dr Youssef and Yvonne and you had a positive experience. I will ensure that they both set sight of your feedback along with the wider team

With all good wishes

Jane
