Gynaecology

The urogynaecology service is accredited by the British society of Urogynaecology which is the governing body of the urogynaecology practice in UK. We are the only accredited unit in Sussex area. This is down to the defined and monitored standards of care, organisation and quality within urogynaecology unit. These standards are measurable, comparable and ensure delivering best practice according to the NICE guidance. The examining committee was  satisfied that the unit  provides a robust mechanism for ensuring quality control and practising clinical urogynaecology  at high standards and  value to service users, commissioners and providers.

The committee was also satisfied that we endeavour to improve patient care, encourage multidisciplinary working, and enhance prospects to grow and develop new services like out-patient treatment of stress in continence and obstetric ananl sphinteric injury clinic  OASIS.

The service is available at both Conquest hospital and Eastbourne DGH. It provides treatment for:

• Stress incontinence
• Overactive bladder
• Pelvic floor organ prolapse
• Obstetric anal sphincter injuries with long term consequences like fecal urgency and faecal incontinence

As a team of consultants, nurses, healthcare assistance and physiotherapists we understand how much the impact of these problems on your quality of life both social and career. We also understand that it takes a lot of courage to go to your doctor and raise these sensitive issues. We can promise you a lot of help and understanding when you come to the clinic from the whole team and we will be doing our best to alleviate your symptoms.
