Minimal access surgical techniques, such as laparoscopic (key hole) and robotic surgery, allow operations to be done through small cuts. This results in in well recognised advantages such as less pain, faster recovery and less scarring. Oli was awarded one of only five national training posts in advanced laparoscopic (key-hole) surgery, which he completed at University College London Hospital (UCLH). He is also an experienced robotic surgeon, having been operating robotically since 2023. He manages all benign gynaecological conditions through minimal access surgery, including endometriosis, fibroids, heavy menstrual bleeding and subfertility.

Hystersocopic surgery is the treatment of problems (e.g. polyps, fibroids, intrauterine adhesions and heavy periods) using a tiny camera that goes up into the womb. Oli is an advanced hysteroscopic surgeon, performing all types of diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy . This minimally invasive approach allows many common problems to be treated as a day case (go home on the same day) without any cuts in the abdomen (tummy).

Oli is a nationally recognised expert in transvaginal gynaecological ultrasound, particularly in relation to endometriosis. Only a small number of people have this particularly specialist skill, which usually allows him to diagnose and manage endometriosis (and other problems) at the first appointment without the need for further imaging (i.e. MRI scan) or diagnostic laparoscopy. This means a diagnosis and treatment plan can usually be given straight away.

Oli trained for two and a half years at one of the largest endometriosis centres in the UK with world -renowned endometriosis experts and surgeons. He has lead the BSGE accredited Endometriosis Centre in Bristol at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston since 2018, and receives referrals from all around the region for expert advice and care. His ultrasound skills mean that he can usually diagnose or exclude deep endometriosis at the first clinic appointment and discuss/start ongoing management straightaway.

Oli is pleased to now be able to offer the Endotest. This is a new, highly accurate saliva test for endometriosis. For further information please book an appointment or visit https://ziwig.com/en/discover-ziwig-endotest/

Oli has worked at some of the top fertility units in the UK including the Bristol Centre for Reproductive Medicine (http://www.fertilitybristol.com), the University College London Hospital Reproductive Medicine Unit and the Centre for Reproductive and Genetic Health (CRGH). He is a fertlity consultant at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston and is skilled in all aspects of diagnosis and treatment of women/couples with difficulty getting pregnant. This includes ovulation induction (OI), intrauterine insemination (IUI), IVF/ICSI and fertility surgery. He is particularly interested and qualified in treating those fertility patients with endometriosis or fibroids.

Oli is experienced with all non-surgical and surgical methods for the management of fibroids- whether that be for heavy bleeding, pressure symptoms or fertility issues. His specialist skills mean that the majority of operations can be carried out using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopy and hysteroscopy).
