Paediatric & Adolescent Gynaecology (PAG)

 Our services   

We are one of the biggest referral centres for PAG in the country and see patients from birth to 16 years. We hold consultant and nurse-led gynaecology clinics, as well as multidisciplinary clinics in conjunction with dermatology, endocrinology, urology, psychology and child protection teams. We also have regular day case and inpatient theatre lists.

We work very closely with Liverpool Women’s Hospital, to ensure a smooth transition into adult services for those girls with chronic gynaecological conditions.
