The first part of this chapter has been written with the patient’s journey in mind: from the time of presentation to the general practitioner (GP) with a problem such as abnormal uterine bleeding, through referral to secondary care for investigation, including hysteroscopy if appropriate, and to treatment as indicated. We hope this approach will clarify what is involved in providing such a service. In the second half of the chapter, the equipment required for providing hysteroscopy services is described in detail, making extensive use of published standards and guidelines for gynaecology and hysteroscopy specifically.
