Dear Freedom.of.information (HOMERTON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL NHS FOUNDATION TRUST),
these are the guide lines https://www.rcog.org.uk/en/guidelines-re...
i want to know if you abide by the guide lines that includes the statement from the BSGE from dec 2018 quote
"Diagnostic hysteroscopy is a commonly performed investigation; it is safe and of short duration. Most women are able to have the procedure in an outpatient setting, with or without local anaesthesia, and find it convenient and acceptable. However, it is important that women are offered, from the outset, the choice of having the procedure performed as a day case procedure under general or regional anaesthetic. Some centres are also able to offer a conscious sedation service in a safe and monitored environment. It is important that the procedure is stopped if a woman finds the outpatient experience too painful for it to be continued. This may be at the request of the patient or nursing staff in attendance, or at the discretion of the clinician performing the investigation."
please not the means before any procedure takes place and in practice would sound something like hysterscopy is typically done in outpatient but there will be gas and air available ect, conscious sedation or even GA if you do not wish to be awake how ever this does increase the risk of complication,s slightly .and i wanted to know if you did not meat these criteria why?

Yours sincerely,

Dean Hough
