Diagnostics

Lizzie Bean

Chair of BSGE Diagnostics portfolio

To date, the BSGE has provided me with an amazing network of friends, colleagues and mentors. Throughout my training, it has provided the resources and collaborations to achieve sought goals. As a newly elected council member, I am excited about the opportunities to work within the committee and amongst the membership to develop training platforms and resources for pre-operative imaging in minimally invasive gynaecology.

I trained in advanced gynaecological ultrasound and minimal access surgery at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, where I completed a three-year OOP research fellowship and then the advanced laparoscopy ATSM. I now work as a consultant at Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, which is an accredited BSGE Endometriosis Centre with an innovative robotic service.

I have trained in ultrasound diagnosis and mapping of endometriosis and am passionate about addressing the delay in diagnosis nationally, improving diagnostics and developing one-stop clinics for women, building the bridge between community and tertiary level care. I’m committed to improving training in gynaecological imaging, which is hugely beneficial for counselling of patients, providing a timely diagnosis and treatment planning. My research areas include ultrasound assessment of endometriosis, the natural history of endometriosis and the relationship between endometriosis and pregnancy.
