Gynaecology MDT

Gynaecological Cancer services at Weston General hospital.

 

The Gynaecological cancer team at Weston General Hospital work with University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust to provide gynaecology cancer services for local people. Some operations and treatment such as chemotherapy can be provided at Weston General Hospital.   Complex surgery is delivered at St Michael’s Hospital and radiotherapy at the Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre.

Caring for patients with cancer is complex and this means we take a multi- disciplinary team approach.

Planning your care

As an MDT we meet at Weston General Hospital on Tuesdays and St Michael’s Hospital in Bristol on Wednesdays to discuss all cancer cases. The gynae-oncology clinical nurse specialists are your point of contact and work between both hospitals. You may contact them whenever you require further information about any aspect of your diagnosis or care.
