Gynaecology Clinical Network Group Lead - Ballari Ghosh
"I started in my role as a Consultant Gynaecologist and Obstetrician at Colchester Hospital in April 2019. I now lead the gynaecology cancer services at Colchester General Hospital and am cancer lead co-chair for the trust.
My basic medical training was completed in India, with a post-graduate degree in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. I completed further Obstetrics and Gynaecology speciality training in the East of England before going on to complete clinical fellowship in gynaecology oncology at the Christie Hospital in Manchester. I have a Bachelor of medicine / Bachelor of surgery (MBBS) degree, a Master of Surgery (MS) in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and am a Member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (MRCOG).
I am trained in laparoscopic and robotic surgery, caring for women with confirmed and suspected gynaecological cancer. I am accredited by the Society of European Robotic Gynaecological Surgery and British and Irish Association of Robotic Gynaecological surgeons. I also mentor surgeons and train them in robotic surgery.
When I'm not working, I love to travel and read."
