    Interesting video, sadly my experiences of having a smear test are all focused around the first part of the video with a blase nurse stating that all women have to have this screening test, rushing through, dismissing my fears. There is also the lottery of not knowing if I will have to lay on one of those humiliating couches with stirrups or be wedged against a wall on a narrow couch. No wonder I opted out of cervical screening.

    This reflects my experience of mental health provision both good and bad. I'm very grateful for the people in this video expressing their experience since it takes courage to do so. This gives service users a voice and gives professionals the opportunity to see things from our perspective. I hope that by giving us a voice improvements may be made in an often failing mental health service and that future service users will not have to go through the struggles I have experienced just to acquire something near adequate treatment for acute mental health disorders. Thank you Healthwatch Essex and all those who participated in this video. H
