Analysis of an Innovative Outpatient Acute Gynecology Clinic
We have shown that urgent gynaecological conditions can be managed efficiently without access to expensive equipment or inpatient beds. The AGC reduces delay in diagnosis and alleviates patient anxiety. Patients spend less time waiting on the wards, have fewer follow-up appointments, and are more likely to be completely discharged. A local audit has shown a significant reduction in the A&E ward attendance rate by 66% in the first 4 months of the service operating.
