Nadine Di Donato

Chair of Hysteroscopy Portfolio

As a Consultant Minimal access surgeon at the Southern Endometriosis center I have been tasked to develop a minimal access service and more recently expand this as a robotic service. This has been a challenge and one for which I am keen to offer my experience on the journey for anyone else who wishes to develop their services.

I have been a member of the BSGE since 2015 and I have had an active role in the society website and communications. I have enjoyed doing this and the service that has driven me to stand for the council to represent your views which I have been given during my time on the editorial board of the journal.

With support from the society, I have travelled abroad, visiting centres of excellence and gained experience from other colleagues. This is one of the most valuable opportunities offered by the society and I would aim to strengthen relationship with recognised training hospitals abroad. I am part of the faculty at the University in Bologna – Masters in minimally invasive surgery. This experience will enable me to help support others wanting to gain similar exposure. If elected I would endeavour to help strengthen the research profile and advanced training opportunities, especially for trainees, through collaboration and partnership with other centres abroad.

Vice President

It has been a pleasure to serve on BSGE council for the past 2 and a half years and I have thoroughly enjoyed taking on the role of chair of the Information Resources Committee. With the help of the subcommittee we have strived to bring to you a diverse range of education activities including our popular webinar series. All our previous webinars can be found here on the BSGE website and every month we will bring you an exciting new episode (usually on the last Wednesday of the month between 6-7pm).

I have really strived to also ensure our patients are at the centre of what we do at the BSGE and over the past 2 years we have really developed our patient facing activities. We have run a number of informative patient webinars on adenomyosis and endometriosis and the feedback has been excellent. Our BSGE Instagram page (@THEBSGE) is a great resource for patients and I do encourage you to share it in your clinics and beyond. It shares up to date evidence based information with patients and signposts them to helpful resources and much more.

As ever we continue to look to the future to improve and develop and if you have any thoughts on webinar topics or any suggestions at all please do get in touch.

Benedetto Mondelli

Senior Trainee Representative

I am an ST5 trainee, currently undertaking a clinical research fellowship in endometriosis and minimally invasive surgery. I will be starting the ATSM in advanced laparoscopy (benign disease) in October.

I am passionate about minimal access surgery, in particular chronic pelvic pain and endometriosis.

I have been a BSGE member since 2018 and as RIGS regional rep, I look forward to supporting my colleagues who are interested in minimal access surgery.

I will also aim to increase the involvement of the trainees in the society.
