What does the service do with my answers?
The Urogynaecology service will review your completed questionnaires/answers, before your appointment with them. This will help them understand your conditions and what matters to you, identify the best next steps and provide better patient care and experience. It will also help in making any future consultations with your specialist clinicians more informed and more productive.
What else should I know?
We hope you will find the Inhealthcare Urogynaecology service enjoyable to use and that it will help you to understand your conditions better, know about your treatment options further, and be prepared for more reproductive and meaningful discussions with your care providers, in addition to provide you with some tools to manage your symptoms better.
However, if you do not find the service helpful, you can opt out at any time, by using the Opt Out task on the My Inhealthcare platform.
Please note that Inhealthcare is not an emergency service. Your answers will not be viewed by a clinician straight away. If you need medical assistance, you should phone your family doctor (GP) or call NHS 24 on 111. In case of an emergency, dial 999.
