The ‘Leeds Centre for Women’s Health’ comprises a gynaecology ward, the gynaecology day-case unit, acute gynaecology and early pregnancy unit (GATU & EPU) and is based on the St James’s site. Our outpatient facility is located close to the inpatient unit, and enables the team to undertake more procedures in the outpatient setting and with the necessary facilities for assessment, diagnosis and treatment, usually on the same day. This department has recently incorporated gynaecology ultrasound scanning facilities to streamline the pathway. This hub is the home of the gynaecology nurse specialists, who already deliver a higher volume of nurse-led diagnosis and treatment clinics than any other centre nationally.

We work closely with community gynaecology services and launched the Integrated Gynaecology Service in partnership Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust in 2018. This has been very successful and enabled both teams to care for patients in the right setting.
