Mr Oliver O'Donovan

I am a Consultant Gynaecologist experienced in managing all benign (non-cancerous) gynaecological conditions, with specialist expertise in laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery, gynaecological ultrasound, endometriosis and pelvic pain, fertility, fibroids and heavy periods.

I hold an NHS consultant post at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston, where I lead the St Michael's Endometriosis Centre (accredited by the British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy) since 2018. I am also a consultant fertility specialist. My private practice is conducted at The Spire Hospital in Bristol, and at The Bristol Centre for Reproductive Medicine (BCRM).

After qualifying from Imperial College School of Medicine I completed most of my junior training in obstetrics and gynaecology in the South West of England, before moving to the London and Oxford areas for specialist training. I have specialist expertise in the diagnosis (including ultrasound) and management of endometriosis and subfertility, although have a broad experience of all benign (non-cancerous) gynaecological problems.

I have published and presented (nationally and internationally) on many topics related to fertility, endometriosis and minimal access surgery, and am regularly invited to teach on courses and am keenly involved in research and teaching (both at undergraduate and postgraduate level). I am a nationally recognised expert, particularly in ultrasound diagnosis or endometriosis, and currently sit on both the diagnostics and endometriosis centres subcommittees at The British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy. I am a founding trustee of The Endometriosis Foundation (www.the endometriosis foundation.org).

I pride myself on collaborating to the highest level with both patients and colleagues to provide outstanding quality patient-centred care.
