General Gynaecology

The Women’s department is based in the Wirral Women and Children’s Hospital building on the Arrowe Park Site where it provides full outpatient and inpatient services. The unit was completely refurbished in 2011 and it contains its own theatre suite complex, inpatient wards, day case unit and gynaecology outpatient treatment centre.

The Gynaecology service is able to provide a wide range of services including gynaecological cancer, colposcopy, endometriosis, urogynaecology, fertility, general and emergency gynaecology.

The Gynaecology department is one of the largest national endometriosis centres in the country, providing training in advanced laparoscopy. Both Gynaecology theatres provide 3D imaging on BBraun stacker systems and we are one of the few departments nationally offering robotic surgery for complex cases.

Appointments

Patients with gynaecological problems are referred by their GP who will send a referral letter to Wirral Women and Children's Hospital or give you a reference number which will enable you to access the Choose and Book system.

Further information is available at NHS Choose and Book (link on left) or by calling the Wirral Booking Office on 0151 604 7501. When calling the Wirral Booking Office, please have your reference number and password available.

Each referral will have an initial review by one of our clinicians to direct your referral to the most appropriate pathway.  This may include ordering some tests to be done before an appointment, giving you and your GP some initial advice to manage your symptoms quickly or even direct you to an alternative specialty.  Our aim is to keep you informed at every stage.
