The Acute Gynaecology Unit (AGU) provides a clinician lead service for women with emergency gynaecological problems. Our clinics are run by teams of doctors, nurses and a Lead Consultant Gynaecologist.
Our other Maternity Services are:
Early Pregnancy
Fetal Medicine
Neonatalogy
Referral for recurrent miscarriage clinic:
Following 3 consecutive miscarriages your GP can refer you into the Hospital to see our specialist consultant.
Who do we see in emergencies?
What should you expect at your visit?
You will see a doctor or a nurse who will assess you by taking your medical history and examine you if necessary. Where appropriate a scan will be arranged (may be done internally through the vagina)
How do we run the gynaecological clinic?
The emergency sessions are open every weekday pm. Appointments can be booked via A&E or GP referrals on the day by phoning the Early Pregnancy number. The system runs on a first come first served basis. Priority will be given to those who are unwell. The clinics are often busy and long waits are sometimes inevitable. If the clinic is exceptionally busy we may need to close to further patients.

To families of all our patients, we wanted to give a reminder that sadly, at both Bedford and the Luton & Dunstable Hospital, we are still unable to allow any visitors on site, unless there are exceptional circumstances, for example in maternity or children’s departments, or for those patients who are receiving palliative treatment at the end of their lives, on a case-by-case basis.
At Bedford we will call one designated member of family every day between 1.30pm and 4.30pm with a daily phone update. Those who miss a call back during this time and are concerned can contact the helpline on 01234 730500.
For the Luton & Dunstable, we are offering a dedicated Next of Kin helpline for family members who want to check up on their loved ones – please nominate one family member to call 01582 718884 between 8am and 6pm.
