Ben, having trained in London and the south west of England, has been a consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Christchurch Women’s Hospital since 2008. Although having a general O&G practice, he subspecialises in urogynaecology and minimal access surgery.
Although involved in the Canterbury Initiative, he spends a great deal of time in the development of Electronic Referral and is the main triager for the gynae department, handling up to 360 referrals monthly. Approximately 10-15 % of these are handled as a virtual referral, having a bespoke reply, enabling GPs to treat women in the community if possible. Thus Christchurch has had an increased FSA/surgical waiting list conversion, the gynae department only seeing those women who cannot be dealt with in the community.
