The obstetrics and gynaecology department is a busy unit with a full range of services currently arranged across both sites.

There are currently 10 gynaecology beds, a dedicated gynaecology theatre and a day surgery unit based on the DH site. Inpatient gynaecology is split between the Denmark Hill site and the PRUH site, with the majority taking place at the PRUH. Day-case and ambulatory services along with a full range of outpatient activity will be provided at both sites.

There is a well-developed Early Pregnancy Unit (EPU) and One-Stop general gynaecology clinic service at DH. As well as providing general gynaecology, the service also supports special interests in gynaecological oncology, colposcopy, urodynamics, urogynaecology, infertility, assisted conception and a specialist menopause service. The department delivers a service principally to local women in the catchments of the two sites and maintains excellent links with local General Practitioners.
