Miss Dr Jennifer Davies

I am a general gynaecologist with a special interest in urogynaecology. I was appointed as a consultant in 2000 and my NHS practice is at Wrightington Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. I had over 20 years of experience of working in private practice in Wigan and St Helens and have recently moved my private practice to The Wilmslow Hospital. I developed the NHS urogynaecology service in Wigan and Leigh and continue to lead that service working closely with two consultant colleagues with whom I also collaborates in private practice as Partners in Women’s Health LLP. I have extensive experience in non-surgical management of urinary symptoms. If further investigation is indicated, I am trained in urodynamic (bladder) testing and carry out the investigations personally, combining the testing with a discussion about diagnosis and management. I have experience in out-patient procedures such as Botox injections for overactive bladder and urethral bulking for stress incontinence. I offers a full range of surgical procedures to treat both incontinence and prolapse including procedures without the use of mesh. If complex surgery is indicated I will operate in conjunction with one of the Partners in Women’s Health. In accordance with NICE guidance all continence and prolapse procedures are discussed in a multidisciplinary team meeting prior to surgery and all are registered on the national database held by the British Society of Urogynaecology. I have wide experience in general gynaecology including treating menstrual (period) problems and menopause symptoms and carry out general gynaecological procedures such as hysteroscopy, laparoscopy and hysterectomy. I do not perform colposcopy or specialist fertility treatments. The Partners in Women’s Health own a Mona Lisa Touch machine located at The Wilmslow Hospital and so I am able to offer vaginal laser therapy to treat vaginal dryness and discomfort associated with the menopause. In addition to my clinical work I have experience in medical education and have served on the Specialist Education Committee of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. I led the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Wigan as Clinical Director for many years. I have an interest in providing accessible patient information and was Chair of the Information Committee of the British Society of Urogynaecology. I was a committee member of the NICE guideline group developing a guideline on Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: prevention and non-surgical management and also a committee member of a group working with the United Kingdom Continence Society to develop UK guidance for the use of vaginal pessaries to treat prolapse.
