Minister for Public Health and Women's Health, Jenni Minto MSP, has officially opened the new Fife Gynaecology Unit at Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline.

The new unit, which welcomed its first patients at the end of April, aims to significantly enhance gynaecological services for women across Fife. This dedicated facility provides a comprehensive and specialised range of outpatient services, including the care of postmenopausal bleeding, abnormal cervical screening, urogynaecology issues such as urinary incontinence and prolapse, as well as vulva problems.

Patients also benefit from specialist nurse-led and doctor-led clinics providing a range of diagnostic and minor surgical procedures. By centralising these services, the unit aims to improve patient flow and reduce waiting times, ensuring more timely access to gynaecological care.

The design of the unit prioritises the comfort, privacy, and dignity of patients, aligning with the latest UK Government guidance for intimate examinations and surgical procedures. It features dedicated spaces for pre- and post-operative care, promoting efficient clinical sessions and reducing the need for overnight hospital stays. The entire unit is fully accessible, with the facilities tailored to meet the needs of all patients, including those with mobility issues or additional care needs.
