Gynaecology
The North Middlesex Hospital is in a state of rapid change with a brand new “purpose-built” Accident and Emergency Department which houses a Gynaecology Emergency Room. We have an active Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit/ Emergency Gynaecology Unit, with two trained nurse ultrasonographers plus 3 Consultant sessions, two ultrasound machines with pulsed colour Doppler facilities, and daily beta-hCG assays.
The hospital has been designated as a Cancer Unit within the “North Central” London Oncology network.
There are modern, up-to-date facilities for minimal access gynaecological surgery including video cameras, laparoscopes, hystero-resectoscopes, Novasure endometrial ablation. The success of the service has led to increased demand for minimal access surgery from GPs and patients. There is two weekly out-patient hysteroscopy clinic.
There is at present one weekly gynaecological urodynamic session. Enfield and Haringey Health Authority employ a senior nurse incontinence advisor and there is an active incontinence support group with a senior physiotherapist.
