Recommendation 18

18 Paragraph: 81

Collect NHS data on adherence to guidelines for painful gynaecological procedures and patient experience.

Recommendation
Concerns about painful procedures have been raised for years with little sign of progress. We recommend the NHS collects data on whether guidelines for hysteroscopy, IUD fittings and other potentially painful gynaecological procedures are being adhered to. That data must include surveys of patient experience. Without the pressure of having this information captured we are sceptical there will be the necessary drive to improve the level of care.
