Women’s health hub testimonial

‘The IUD/IUS fitting service provided by Magdalen Medical Practice has been invaluable for many of our patients who were otherwise facing a long wait for a gynaecology or iCash appointment, some waits patients reported to us several months even over a year while others had referrals rejected as the department felt the clinical need was insufficient. As a small practice it was not cost effective for us to train a clinician to do coil fittings so to be able to send out patients to a local team we can trust is really helpful.

We hope this service will continue and would be happy to recommend their service to others’
