Gynaecology - 2WW
Service Overview
Services run at UHBristol (St. Michael’s) and NBT (Southmead). The services are for patients who meet the Gynaecological Cancer Two Week Wait criteria. The service offers consultation with diagnostics and onward referral for treatment as required.
At time of referral please issue the BNSSG Understanding Your Urgent Fast Track Referral patient information leaflet.
Referral Guidance
Refer using the Suspected Gynaecological Cancer Referral Form (word doc).
Please inform patients that they may have a hysteroscopy when they attend their first OPA
Referrals to NBT
Please note: This service is moving to a RAS at NBT from 21/11/22. Therefore, you need to select 'send for triage' in eRS rather than selecting a date and time for dummy appointment.
If advised to refer into MDT, then please submit a 2WW referral to the relevant secondary care team who will ensure that all the required information is available to enable an effective MDT discussion.
