Gynaecology

We provide a range of specialist and surgical services for women who have either been referred by their GP or need further assessments following the results of a recent cervical screening test, more commonly known as a smear test. A smear clinic is also available for women who require treatment following a colposcopy  and we offer a clinic for the administration of hormone treatment prior to surgery.
