Summary

Hysteroscopy involves both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Inpatient hysteroscopy is well established, but the development of outpatient services is relatively new. Audit is the process by which we assess a service against recognised standards; data collection enables us to perform an audit; clinical governance provides the framework for safe and effective patient care.
