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.

Miss Rebecca Mallick – BSGE President
August 2026
Welcome to my first BSGE Presidential Monthly Update.
It has been a busy and exciting first few months as BSGE President, with lots happening across the Society. Through these short monthly updates, I hope to keep you informed about our latest work, important developments and upcoming opportunities to connect, collaborate and learn.
Improving fibroid care
I am delighted to announce the creation of a new BSGE Fiibroid portfolio, reflecting our commitment to improving fibroid care across the UK. This important work will be led by Mostafa Abdalla.
Full details will follow in the next edition of The Scope, and we will soon be releasing information about the first BSGE National Fibroid Network meeting. I am really excited about the potential of this work to bring colleagues together, strengthen pathways and support more equitable access to high-quality fibroid care.
