Gynaecology focuses on the health of the female reproductive system.
Our gynaecology teams include specialist consultants and highly experienced nurses who lead the clinics and procedures.
We offer inpatient and day care services at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary and Furness General Hospital, and outpatient services at Westmorland General Hospital. We also care for patients undergoing breast care surgery on our gynaecology ward at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary.
