BSGE centre query

[michelle86]

Just a quick query about the bsge centres. I see my consultant (who is head of my local bsge centre) privately in a different local hospital. In my experience the hospital the bsge centre is in is terrible and I'd much rather continue to be treated by him privately at my current hospital. If my condition worsens would I have to move hospitals? Or because it's the same team I'm seeing does it not matter? Hope that makes sense.

Having second op lap in just over a year on this coming Friday.

If your surgery has complex needs then it is possible for them to need to go to a main hospital where they have more tools at there disposal.. But I would be very surprised if this happened without a discussion with you first. X

Thankyou for your really comprehensive reply. I'm lucky and have health insurance so cost is not an issue. Looking at it a bit more in depth (without naming names) it is a multidisciplinary team that my consultant has. My endo isn't too severe yet (although my pain would like to argue otherwise, I understand severity of endo and severity of pain don't always match up). Think I'll discuss with him how, if in any way, his clinic doesn't meet the bsge standards for my future knowledge, and do a bit more research myself.

Thank you again x
