What is a Colposcopy?
A colposcope is a low-powered microscope used to examine a woman’s cervix to assess the extent and severity of any problem and to determine appropriate treatment.
Where to go for your appointment
If attending at Scunthorpe General Hospital, you will need to go to the Gynaecology
Outpatients Clinic. If your appointment is at the Diana Princess of Wales Hospital, you will need to go to the reception area on ward B1 where you will then be shown into our waiting area. If you are going to Goole & District Hospital, you should ask at the main reception desk in the hospital for directions to the Midwifery Centre, from where you will be directed to the colposcopy clinic.
Referrals
Referrals are usually made by GPs or gynaecologists.
