02 / FOR PATIENTS
Women鈥檚 health,
at every stage of life.
Gynaecology, obstetrics and support when trying to conceive, alongside surgery and diagnostic procedures.
Gynaecology, obstetrics and fertility
Obstetrics
Care for uncomplicated and complicated pregnancies, and support during childbirth as part of the maternity care pathway.
Planning a pregnancy
Assessment and guidance for women and couples wishing to conceive, with attention to individual needs and any further investigations required.
Gynaecological endocrinology
Assessment and treatment of irregular periods, absent periods (amenorrhoea) and menopausal symptoms, with attention to hormonal balance at each stage of life.
Urogynaecology
Assessment and treatment of pelvic floor disorders, urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse through an individualised care pathway.
Surgery and diagnostic procedures
Robotic surgery
Gynaecological procedures using a robotic approach, based on clinical indications and a care plan agreed with the patient.
vNOTES surgery
