It's Ovarian Cancer Awareness month 📅
We are The Gynaecological Oncology Clinical nurse specialist team @WghLothian
In the UK around 7,500 women are diagnosed each year, unfortunately it is often diagnosed at a later stage. We would love for women to know the symptoms.
This week is Fertility Awareness Week. The number of people waiting for donors outweighs the supply. Please stop by NHS Lothian RIE mall tomorrow between 2pm-4pm to meet our fertility team for further information.

Being ready for your surgery is so so so so important. The fitter you are in body and mind for your operation the shorter your stay in hospital and the lower the risk of post operative complications. We have a dedicated specialist nurse to help you.
Today is @WorldGOday; it is our mission @NHS_Lothian to provide world class & individualised care to those affected by gynaecological cancer. The earlier these cancers are diagnosed the better their outcomes. Please share & ensure everyone is vigilant for the symptoms.
