The clinic continues to be run by Clinical Nurse
Manager Claire McElroy and Dr David Fennelly.
29 new patients were seen in 2020. 3 patients
needed repeat Evacuation of Retained Products
of Conception (ERPC) and only 1 patient received
chemotherapy. The number of women needing
chemotherapy remains very low in our service by
national and international standards. We accomplish
this by a combination of careful initial surgical
management, with judicial use of repeat ERPCs. We
think this approach offers advantages over early use
of chemotherapy.
