Original feedback for

Royal Lancaster Infirmary



Gynecology department not fit for all patients

It is not okay for women who have had a miscarriage awaiting their scans to be sat in the same waiting area in the gynaecology outpatient department as pregnant women who are waiting their scans. This can and does retrigger my reproductive trauma PTSD. It will also likely be triggering for women who have fertility issues to be sat with pregnant women. There are two waiting rooms - one down the corridor from them. Please can you offer a separate waiting room. There is also no open bereavement maternity suite at the RLI at the moment because it was too far away from medical assistance and a new one is due to be built. Please can you ensure this is on the agenda to be actioned urgently so that families can spend time if they need to with their deceased babies after birth.
