We have listed below the gynaecological conditions which we can deal with. General gynaecological conditions can be seen by any one of the Gynaegroup consultants at a time and location most suitable to you (see Clinic times ). Conditions requiring the skills of a particular consultant are listed under that sub-speciality, and clinic times will therefore be limited to that specialist's clinics. If you are unsure which consultant to see, and the information is not available on this website, please e-mail or phone Karen , our group secretary for further advice.
