Mr Alexander Slack: 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.

About me

Alex Slack has for the last 10 years been a Consultant in Gynaecology and a Sub-Specialist in Urogynaecology (problems with Bladder control, continence and Vaginal Prolapse).

He is the lead for urogynaecology in the Trust and is one of only a few urogynaecologists with sub-speciality accreditation.

He specializes in laparoscopic surgery and over 95% of his abdominal operations are carried out this way, allowing for faster recovery, low infection rates and minimal scarring.
