About us

Gynaecology is provided across three sites, at City Hospital, Queen's Medical Centre and the Nottingham Treatment Centre based at the QMC Campus. Our gynaecology service includes an accredited urogynaecology unit and a mesh removal service, reproductive medicine, benign and emergency gynaecology, and gynae oncology. As part of the development of Primary Integrated Care Services, gynaecology clinics are also held in primary care settings in the community supported by NUH gynaecologists.

There is a 2-tier gynaecology on-call rota, with the first consultant covering emergency gynaecology, and the second tier providing cover for complex surgery or obstetric major haemorrhage. This is in addition to the obstetric consultant on-call (one for each campus). The consultants on the complex surgery rota have the required surgical skills to undertake this role.

Our gynaecology service includes urogynaecology, reproductive medicine, benign and emergency gynaecology, and gynae oncology.
