Mrs Kalaivani Lingam: Obstetrics and gynaecology

Covid-19

Hospitals are starting to offer more treatment for private patients, although a very small number will continue to provide NHS care only. Hospitals will need to catch up on all the treatment that was postponed at the start of the outbreak. If you’re due to see a Bupa recognised healthcare professional, we recommend you discuss this with them as they’ll be best placed to let you know whether there’s likely to be any impact on your treatment. Hospitals are taking extra precautionary steps to keep patients safe, such as asking them to self-isolate for 14 days before treatment and pre-admission testing. For our latest updates, support and guidance visit our COVID-19 information hub.

I used to work at Queens Hospital NHS Trust which is in the town of Burton on Trent.

I enjoy gardening , reading and travelling. I love opera, classical music and dance. I play the piano and do some singing for relaxing. With my husband we both enjoy walking as we live in a beautiful part of Derbyshire

Whist working in Burton Hospital, I was instrumental in obtaining the National accreditation for the Unit in 2011 and in 2018 this unit was reaccredited again.

I also received an award from the Hospital for improvement in services in urinary incontinence in 2007.
