Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

There is ongoing considerable site development at Kettering General Hospital. The theatre suite for Obstetrics & Gynaecology underwent redevelopment in February 2016. Building work is in the early stagesfor the new Rockingham Wing which will provide new facilities for Obstetric and Gynaecology services.

There is a thriving and well-equipped Post Graduate Education centre including a new, large, modern library, seminar rooms, and lecture theatre.

ANTENATAL SCREENINGWe offer a full range of prenatal screening services including early dating scans, Nuchal Translucency and biochemical screening. We offer CVS as well as Amniocentesis. The Fetal Medicine Service is supported byConsultants from University Hospital of Leicester (attending 2 clinics per week). A Consultant Clinical Geneticist who covers the county supports the genetic services. There are on site prenatal counselling facilities with a specialist midwife and the service is offered to all women as part of their routine antenatal care.THEATRESThere are two large and fully equipped state of the art theatres opened in February 2016. One is for routine gynaecology and the second theatre for Obstetrics. A third theatre is used for emergencies for obstetrics and gynaecology.

Shifting of clinical commitment from junior doctors to nursing staff has been developed actively in Kettering to allow more time for training and adaptability as further changes are imposed on us by reduction of Junior Doctors hours. We have specialist nurses in Gynae Oncology, Infertility, Termination of Pregnancy and Prenatal Diagnosis who all contribute to running the department.
