Practice observed in managing gynaecological problems in post-menopausal women during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The way in which gynaecology services are provided in the UK has drastically changed within a short space of time due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Gynaecologists are not considered front-line staff in the treatment of the novel coronavirus unlike our intensive care or accident and emergency colleagues. However, the impact this is having on those with chronic problems is significant, and the morbidity associated with missed malignancies could be problematic. This article summarises the strategies developed at King’s College Hospital to remodel services to best provide optimum treatment to patients in this new era.
