A NEW sub-specialist gynaecology cancer surgeon has started delivering monthly clinics at Canberra Hospital as part of a new agreement between Canberra Health Services and the Royal Hospital for Women in Sydney.
Associate Prof Ramanand Athavale, clinical director of the gynaecological oncology service at the Royal Hospital for Women, held his first outpatient clinic at Canberra Hospital last week.
The ACT government says he will visit Canberra Hospital monthly for an all-day operating list, followed by a multidisciplinary team meeting, ward rounds and an outpatient clinic the following day. Between visits, Associate Prof Athavale will also conduct follow‑up telehealth clinics for women referred to the Gynaecology Oncology service in the ACT.
