Rachel O’Donnell and Michelle Russell are Consultant Gynaecologists at The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

They are part of a regional NHS gynaecology network that shares best practice across the North East and North Cumbria.

On this episode of NENC Providers Podcast, Rachel and Michelle discuss how the network benefits patients, staff and the NHS in general.

They also talk about a successful Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) visit to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle.

The GIRFT programme is designed to improve the treatment and care of patients through in-depth review of services.
