Having had a negative experience at the EPAS service - following an error my wife who had only returned home from this service then had to re-attend immediately to give more bloods or her procedure scheduled at Stobhill couldn't take place.
Thankfully, the staff and treatment received at Stobhill Hospital is on another level to the negativity and poor practice we experienced within the EPAS service.
Stobhill staff couldn't have been nicer and the consultant was fantastic having real empathy and understanding for the trauma my wife has been through on 3 occasions now. For there to be such a contrast between patient care highlights real concerns for us about the culture in EPAS.
You phone Stobhill you get an answer by someone who will listen to you and give advice and support. If you phone the EPAS service you get a prompt to leave a voicemail message, which is not personal and for women who are going through the trauma of miscarriage, I can only imagine how frustrating and anxiety provoking this is.
Stobhill staff take a bow as you have re-installed faith in the NHS.
