At Cromwell Hospital, we put women’s health and wellbeing as our top priority, and we continuously strive to provide world-leading healthcare services and offer personalised support every step of the way.

Our Gynaecology Rapid Access Clinic and our International Centre for Endometriosis offer cutting-edge facilities for our female patients.
Gynaecology Rapid Access Clinic
At Cromwell Hospital, our Gynaecology Rapid Access Clinic enables you to see a consultant gynaecologist and access any diagnostics you need, in the shortest time possible.
The rapid nature of the clinic is specifically designed to give you peace of mind and, if needed, fast access to onward support or treatment.
In many cases, we can offer next day appointments with leading specialist consultants. Any tests can also often be carried out on the same day, within our specialist women’s health centre adjacent to Cromwell Hospital – the ‘Well Woman Centre’ – with test results coming back in as little as 2-5 working days.
At the Gynaecology Rapid Access Clinic, we provide fast and efficient investigations for a range of different gynaecological symptoms and conditions including:
- a cervical smear abnormality
- abnormal bleeding, such as heavy or irregular periods, bleeding between periods, bleeding after sex, bleeding with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or post-menopausal bleeding
- a clinical abnormality of your cervix, vulva or vagina pelvic pain including period and pre-menstrual pains feeling constantly bloated or discomfort in your
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or have received an abnormal smear result, you may self-refer to the clinic, or be referred by your GP.
The International Centre for Endometriosis
Endometriosis can have a significant impact on a patient’s quality of life, causing a wide range of debilitating symptoms including considerable pain. The variation in symptoms can make diagnosing endometriosis difficult in a primary care setting, with patients waiting on average seven years before receiving an endometriosis diagnosis.
The International Centre for Endometriosis at Cromwell Hospital is highly reputable for the advanced management of complex endometriosis.
The Centre brings the best experts in endometriosis together to provide a thorough robust approach to this condition which can have a serious impact on quality of life, fertility, bowel and bladder.
The Centre is led by Mr Amer Raza who is a consultant gynaecologist with vast experience in treating complex endometriosis. Mr Raza is also co-founder and director of CCMIG (Chelsea Centre of Minimal Access Gynaecology).
At Cromwell Hospital’s International Centre for Endometriosis, our aim is to provide patients with rapid access to a diagnosis, and a tailored and comprehensive treatment plan to set them on a path to recovery.
Endometriosis symptoms are wide-ranging and can vary in severity too. The most common symptoms of endometriosis are:
- pelvic pain – which is usually worse during your period
- significant period pain
- pain when going to the toilet during your period
- pain during or after sexual intercourse
- fertility issues
