Gynaecology

Colleagues gathered this week to recognise Associate Professor Les Reti’s significant contribution to women’s health as he retires after a career at the Royal Women’s Hospital of over 40 years.

This week the Women’s bids a fond farewell to one of its longest serving medical staff members, Associate Professor John McBain, Head of Reproductive Services.

Hormone releasing IUDs are more effective than the contraceptive pill and other medication for treating heavy or abnormal menstrual bleeding a review by Royal Women’s Hospital researchers has found.

A very generous bequest from the estate of Ilma Mary Short enabled the Women’s to establish The Gynaecology Research Centre.
