Outpatient ‘Acute Gynaecology Clinic’ – a novel admission avoidance model to improve women care

Abstract

This article presents to the gynaecologists, general practitioners, accident and emergency doctors and the policy makers the concept, proposed set-up and the benefits of the outpatient consultant-delivered ‘Acute Gynaecology Clinic’ as a novel admission avoidance model to improve women care and satisfaction. The service caters for women who present with urgent benign non-pregnancy-related gynaecological conditions not severe enough to necessitate admission or immediate assessment.
