Knowledge Hub

Patient education is a priority for COGA doctors. Here we regularly add information about gynaecological health and updates from our practice. 

Please note: we often refer to ‘women’s health’ for practicality. In doing so we refer to all people requiring gynaecological and obstetric care, including trans and non-binary people, and other gender expressions too. Everyone is welcome at COGA.
