We see patients from all over the country who have been referred from their GP or hospital consultant because they require a specialist opinion. We see new patients at any point in their diagnosis and treatment journey. We pride ourselves for providing holistic and patient centred care. Options include medical hormonal and non-hormonal and surgical mostly minimal access, including robotic surgery and, when needed, open surgery.
We work closely with other specialists and allied health professionals and can offer our patients a concurrent review by other specialist if this is suitable for you to help shorten your patient journey and help improve your symptoms as quickly as possible. We are the only centre in Northwest London to offer robotic surgery for endometriosis patients in the NHS.
This technology allows us to perform complex operations with greater precision and collaborate with our colorectal surgical colleagues with ease. As more and more patients are looking to have robot-assisted surgery, we have recently expanded our department with a second robot to help reduce the waiting times for our patients. This can be either in person or via telephone consultation. If your appointment is a telephone consultation and you need an examination, then you will be invited to come in for an examination later.
You can change your appointment from telephone to in person and vice versa if this is more convenient for you, please email the administrators to do this in advance of your appointment on chelwest.
You will be reviewed by a member of the team, either the specialist nurse, senior registrar or consultant who will take a detailed history from you, perform a gynaecological examination if appropriate and make recommendation about further investigations or management in a collaborative approach with you. If your case is complex, we will discuss you at our monthly multidisciplinary team MDT meeting to ensure you receive the safest and most appropriate care.
