NCA Gynaecology Pathway Board (NCGPB)
Gynaecology Pathway Board
The Pathway Board brings together healthcare professionals, clinical leaders, and multi-agency representatives to enhance patient outcomes, ensure service quality, and promote equitable care across the region.
Gynaecological cancer services in the North
There are a number of Gynaecological cancers that affect women in Scotland each year. Ovarian is the most common with around 600 new cases in Scotland each year. Other Gynaecological cancers include Cervix, Endometrial and Vulval.
The treatment and management of these cancers differs by type. In the North, Gynaecological cancer services are available from our three main centres; Aberdeen, Dundee and Inverness. For patients requiring surgery for advanced disease, this is carried out at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI) for patients in the North.
The aim of this Pathway Board is to facilitate regional working between the centres, ensuring a focus on improving patient outcomes.
For more information on the symptoms, investigation and treatment of gynaecological cancers, please visit the NHS Inform website.
