Don’t suffer in silence

New Victoria Hospital to host free Women’s Health Webinar series in March 2022

With elective gynaecological surgeries being cancelled or delayed and limited access to women’s health services during the pandemic, many patients are now in need of specialist care. Southwest London based New Victoria Hospital will dedicate a new online event series for Women’s Health to be held on Zoom in March.

New Victoria Hospital’s Women’s Health Webinars with interactive Q&A sessions

Following the positive feedback on previous webinars, New Victoria Hospital will host two new Patient Webinars dedicated to women’s gynaecological and urological health.

Specialist Consultants will cover different topics, including menopause, urinary incontinence, UTIs and endometriosis, and will answer questions that patients can submit anonymously during their registration for the event.

Patients will also be able to ask additional questions using the Q&A tool on Zoom.

David Marshall, New Victoria Hospital’s CEO, said, “ With our Patient Webinars dedicated to women’s health, we are hoping to help many patients who are currently in pain or have seen their quality of life affected by the pandemic.” n
