I hope this post is okay and doesn't break rules. If it does I would like an explanation why before its removed rather than a statement that its been reported. It feels a bit like school.
I've had a reply from my MP with a letter from Maria Caulfield MP.
It's quite long but mentions the Women's Health Strategy 2022. She also states that NHS England are clear that women should be offered information about pain relief options prior to consenting to the procedure, that women should feel able to stop the procedure at any time and should be able to discuss alternative treatment.
There is also a women's health area on the NHS website and a section on hysteroscopy.

In Feb 2023, the Royal college of obstetricians and gynaecologists published a good practice paper
www.rcog.org.uk/media/ymvha2n3/gpp16-final-publication-proof.pdfThe RCOG is also updating its best practice in outpatient hysteroscopy guidelines. It's currently under peer review and due to be published soon.
I haven't checked any of it yet but will do. There's one thing publishing guidance, it's another getting it put into practice.
