Perth gynaecologist Bernadette McElhinney
Bernie mainly works at King Edward Memorial Hospital where she works in the Endoscopy team – a group of doctors providing tertiary level care for patients with endometriosis. She is the lead clinician in the colposcopy service, providing care for patients with abnormal cervical screening.
I think it is important to treat each patient as an individual, listen to their story with fresh ears and provide the resources to help them make an informed decision, with the best possible outcome.
