Good to see that the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists' patient info leaflet has been adapted by Kingston.  It's truthful about the risk of severe pain during biopsy.   It could be a lot more detailed about the possible need for a paracervical block and the inability to guarantee pain-relief for polypectomy and fibroid removal.  The pain and duration of fibroid removal is played down.   There have been recent reports on Care Opinion of awful hysteroscopy procedures at Kingston.  Training needs to be investigated as does truthful 'shared decision-making'.
