The Department of Women’s Health Services provides a comprehensive Obstetrics and Gynaecology service rated ‘Good’ by Care Quality Commissioners for local residents. In addition to the full range of general services there are also a number of established subspecialty activities in the fields of Fetal Medicine, Minimal Access Surgery, Gynaecological Endocrinology and Gynaecological Oncology.
The Department is fully committed to women’s choice and autonomy, and midwifery management of normal pregnancy. There is currently a particularly skilled group of midwifery managers leading the process of change in midwifery practice. The obstetric practice is, however, generally high risk due to the nature of the local population, requiring significant medical involvement in a substantial proportion of pregnancies.
The Gynaecological services are very busy and well supported across the trust.

All theatres are well equipped with minimal access operating systems in newly refurbished operating theatres.
