title: The benefits of setting up a nurse hysteroscopy service.
abstract: Many nurses are extending their roles in line with the Government's NHS Plan. In the outpatient hysteroscopy service in one trust nurses are now undertaking diagnostic hysteroscopy. This has improved continuity of care for patients and allowed the nurses to combine their traditional nursing role of providing information and reassurance with performing the procedure.
