Mr Ken Emmanuel

I have been a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist since 2006, having trained in London and the South West. I obtained my Membership of the Royal College of Obstetrician and Gynaecologists in 2003, and also obtained my Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners in 2016. I am one of the few specialists in obstetrics and gynaecology in the country who has dual accreditation from the Royal Colleges (CCT - Completion of Core Training). I am currently a consultant practicing within the NHS in Wales where I teach and train doctors in obstetrics and gynaecological surgery. During my early training in obstetrics and gynaecology I worked at some of London's most prestigious hospitals including Queen Charlottes and the Royal Free Hospitals before embarking on specialist registrar training in the South West region including teaching hospitals in Southampton, Poole, Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Swindon. During training, I undertook a fellowship of advanced training in London and Australia in the field of laparoscopic surgery, early pregnancy assessment, fertility surgery and hysteroscopic uterine surgery. On completion of training, I was appointed as a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist in Birmingham in 2007 where I was lead for laparoscopic surgery, endometriosis, emergency gynaecology and early pregnancy. After spending four years in Birmingham developing a referral centre for advanced endometriosis surgery, I was invited to work at Benenden Hospital and lead surgeon for hysteroscopic (keyhole) womb surgery, laparoscopic (abdominal keyhole) surgery and endometriosis. I was also worked for the Benenden Fertility Centre and undertook all aspects of fertility care. Since this time I have built on my experience and undertaken travelling clinical fellowships to Germany to further learn more advanced laparoscopic surgical techniques and I have worked with nationally recognised experts in the fields of endometriosis and pelvic floor surgery. I have also been HFEA Person Responsible for a Benenden Fertility Centre, and ran my own private gynaecology ultrasound scan services for women wanting pregnancy reassurance and screening for gynaecological problems including fibroids, ovarian cysts, cancer screening, and pelvic pain. I was first recognised to undertake private work by all the common insurance providers in 2006, and undertakes all the common NHS procedures within the private sector where funded. My educational and professional qualifications include: Bachelor of Science with Honours in Anatomy and Developmental Biology Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery Member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Member of the Royal College of General Practitioners
