Independent charitable hospital King Edward VII’s has opened a new a gynaecological diagnostic centre offering screening, diagnostic and interventional services to women.
The centre, located in the Harley Street Medical Area, offers a service designed for routine screening and regular check-ups and diagnosing a range of gynaecological abnormalities.
It covers women’s health from pelvic pain, menstrual problems, fertility issues and early pregnancy complications, to rapid access services for women with suspected endometrial and ovarian cancer.
The team of consultants is led by Professor Davor Jurkovic.
Professor Jurkovic said: “The aim of the centre is to provide women with a user-friendly service that offers immediate diagnosis and an individualised management plan in a single visit without the need for additional blood tests, imaging such as MRI or diagnostic surgical procedures.
“We are able to do that using ultrasound which is a safe, non-invasive and painless diagnostic test. The quality of ultrasound diagnosis is dependent on the skill and experience of the operators and all of our consultants are experts in gynaecological ultrasound, a key factor in achieving such a high level of diagnostic accuracy.”
Clinical director of women’s health professor Christina Fotopoulou said: “King Edward VII’s Hospital offers a specialised environment for women to be taken care of by a team of internationally renowned experts.
“Our integrated diagnostic centre can help women start their journey to treatment and recovery no matter how challenging or rare the condition is.”
