Carry-on- Clarky Elaine Falkner Hysteroscopy Action That's bad, if the staff don't introduce themselves it makes it feel like you're just part of a conveyor belt process and not seen as a human being.

Uni Hospitals Derby & Burton told us in Oct 2023 their 2WW for #hysteroscopy under GA = 6 weeks. Routine referral for Hx w/GA 78 weeks
