Our gynaecology service investigates, diagnoses and treats conditions related to women’s reproductive health and operates across St Mary's and Queen Charlotte's & Chelsea hospitals.
General gynaecology services receive 18,000 new referrals annually with a further 700 new referrals to the West London Gynaecological Cancer Centre (WLGCC) based at Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea Hospital.
We offer consultant-led emergency gynaecology on both sites through the gynaecology emergency care service (GEC) at St Mary's seven days a week and early pregnancy and gynaecology unit (EPAGU) at Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea.
The gynaecology department also has an active ongoing programme for research and development. The Trust has pioneered research into the management of women with fibroids, working closely in collaboration with the radiology department at St Mary's Hospital.
Conditions and treatments
The Trust’s gynaecology service provides specialist care and clinics in the following areas:
- Colposcopy
- Differences of sexual development and adolescent gynaecology
- Emergency gynaecology
- Endometriosis
- Female genital mutilation (FGM)
- Fibroids

We also offer rapid access for urgent gynaecological care, and minimal access surgery for gynaecology.

Treatment of polyps, removal of lost IUCDs, hysterscopic sterilisation and fibroid resection (myosure) are routinely offered and the service is now developing further to offer outpatient endometrial ablations.

The staff at St Mary's Hospital have been absolutely amazing. They supported us in a way that made everything so much easier. I cannot thank them enough for their support and care. We are so lucky to have such an amazing NHS. Thank you so much.
