ABOUT THE BRITISH SOCIETY FOR GYNAECOLOGICAL ENDOSCOPY
The British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy exists to improve standards, promote training and encourage the exchange of information in minimal access surgery techniques for women with gynaecological problems.
Originally founded in 1989 by a small group of consultant gynaecologists, the society has since grown to the dynamic, active society it is today, with a membership of over a thousand consultants, trainees, specialist nurse practitioners, GPs and students.
BSGE exists not only to serve its members, but also to promote knowledge and understanding of the endoscopic approach to diagnosis and treatment to our patients, the public and those that form healthcare policy so that we can make a difference to women’s health and wellbeing.

President's Update
Mr Arvind Vashisht MA MD FRCOG- BSGE President
A warm hello to you all. A special welcome to our newest members, and a big thank you to our established members for making the BSGE the special society that it is.
What makes it special? Well we have been the pioneers of prioritising innovative safe and accessible patient care. In tandem we have seized the baton of training, setting standards, benchmarking and working with other professional bodies to deliver the best possible treatments for our patients. In doing so we have laid foundations for the next generation of doctors and nurses to perpetuate this vision.
We have been at the forefront in meaningfully incorporating multidisciplinary working, embraced innovation and technology, and developed ambulatory care techniques.
Because of this, we are beyond a single technology, professional body or specialty society, and have grown a broad appeal to all those interested in gynaecological care, including reproductive medicine, oncology, urogynaecology, as well as menstrual health. endometriosis and other benign gynaecological conditions.Â
All of this is the most fantastic base, and I think that with our history coupled with the opportunities available here now in 2024, mean that we can take things to a new level, which is very exciting prospect.Â
