Gynaecology Ward Service

The Gynaecology Inpatient Wards provide dedicated care for Gynaecology patients requiring treatments/surgery; either elective or emergency.

Our wards are multi-professional with a dedicated team of specialist consultants, nurses, healthcare assistants, physiotherapists and clerical staff working together to ensure that each patient receives outstanding care.

Enhanced Recovery Service (ERAS)

We operate an ERAS programme in Gynaecology. The aim of this programme is to get women back to full health as quickly as possible after surgery, empowering them to take an active part in their recovery. Research has shown that after surgery, the sooner patients mobile and the earlier they are eating and drinking, the quicker their recovery will be. They are less likely to develop complications after surgery, such as chest infections and blood clots.

The main elements of the ERAS programme include:

  1. Maximising health pre-operatively
  2. Pre-operative assessment and preparation
  3. Good care planning and pain relief after surgery
  4. Early mobilisation and return to eating and drinking as soon as possible after surgery.
Visiting Policy

We encourage and support people to stay connected to those who matter most in their lives while they are in hospital. This page provides details of current visiting arrangements in place, and guidance and safety measures everyone needs to follow. Person Centred Visiting is in place across NHSGGC.

Person Centred Visiting means we will work together with patients, family members and staff so that care is in line with the following core principles:

  • Welcoming – we welcome and encourage the involvement of the people who matter to patients.
  • Patient Led – We are guided by patients when the people who matter will visit, how they would like them involved in their care, and when they want to rest.
  • Partnership – we work in partnership with the people who matter to patients
  • Flexibility – we have no set visiting times
  • Respect – we respect people individual needs and act on an individual basis to ensure the safety, privacy and dignity of all patients. This means there may be times when we need to ask people to leave a clinical area temporarily.
