ensure patients receive timely care from the right specialist in the most
appropriate setting. Patients may be directed to community gynaecology clinics,
other community services such as Family Planning, Sexual Health, Bladder and
Bowel services, or hospital clinics within the partner hospitals.
This service operates as a comprehensive hub for all gynaecology
referrals, with established pathways for necessary procedures and ultrasounds.
Patients suitable for community clinic care are seen by either GPs with a
special interest in gynaecology or consultants from Whittington, North
Middlesex, or UCLH Hospital Trusts.
