Paediatric and Adolescent Gynaecology Service

The Paediatric and Adolescent Gynaecology (PAG) Service provides expert, multidisciplinary care for children and young people with a range of gynaecological conditions.  

Providing specialist care closer to home reduces the need for children and young people to travel to Leeds Children’s Hospital, whilst helping to shorten waiting times, ensuring faster access to the care they need. Patients benefit from continuity of care, with a dedicated team supporting them throughout their treatment journey. Additionally, when more specialist input is required, we will ensure timely referrals to tertiary services at Leeds Children’s Hospital, maintaining seamless and comprehensive care.
