I am delighted to announce that I will be joining AFRIC 2026 – The Queens Edition as an International Speaker, representing the United Kingdom at this international conference dedicated to fertility and reproductive health.
The conference will take place on 10–11 September 2026 at InterContinental Citystars in Cairo, Egypt, bringing together specialists and healthcare professionals to exchange knowledge, discuss clinical practice and explore developments in fertility, reproductive medicine and women’s health.
For me, participating in AFRIC 2026 is an opportunity to contribute to an important international conversation about improving care for women.
Sharing Expertise in Women’s Health
As a Consultant Gynaecologist and Endometriosis Specialist in Bristol, my clinical work focuses on the diagnosis and management of complex benign gynaecological conditions.
A significant part of my practice involves patients affected by:
- Endometriosis
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Fertility challenges associated with gynaecological conditions
- Fibroids
- Ovarian cysts
- Adenomyosis
- Heavy menstrual bleeding
- Complex gynaecological conditions requiring minimally invasive surgery
My approach combines specialist assessment with personalised treatment planning, particularly where symptoms, fertility and quality of life need to be considered together.
Advancing Endometriosis Care
Endometriosis can be a complex condition. Its impact extends beyond pelvic pain and may affect fertility, relationships, work and everyday life.
Effective management therefore requires more than treating symptoms alone.
Specialist assessment is important to understand the extent of disease, the patient’s symptoms, previous treatments and individual priorities.
For patients requiring surgery, advanced laparoscopic and robotic techniques can form part of a minimally invasive approach to the management of complex endometriosis.
The Importance of International Collaboration
Medicine continues to evolve through research, clinical experience and collaboration between specialists.
International conferences such as AFRIC 2026 provide an opportunity for clinicians from different countries and healthcare systems to exchange experience and discuss approaches to challenging clinical problems.
This exchange of knowledge is particularly valuable in areas such as endometriosis and reproductive health, where patients may require input from multiple specialties.
The objective is ultimately the same: better understanding, better clinical decision-making and better care for women.
Connecting Fertility and Gynaecological Health
Fertility and gynaecological health are closely connected.
Conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids and ovarian cysts may influence fertility in some women, although their impact varies considerably between patients.
Treatment therefore needs to be individualised.
For women who wish to preserve or optimise their fertility, decisions about surgery should take reproductive goals into consideration alongside symptoms and disease severity.
This fertility-focused approach is an important part of modern gynaecological care.
Advanced Minimally Invasive Gynaecological Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery has transformed many areas of gynaecology.
Laparoscopic and robotic techniques allow surgeons to perform complex procedures through small incisions rather than traditional open surgery.
Depending on the individual procedure and patient, potential advantages can include reduced postoperative discomfort, smaller scars and a faster return to normal activities.
However, technology itself is only one part of good surgical care.
Careful patient selection, surgical expertise, appropriate investigation and personalised treatment planning remain essential.
Representing UK Gynaecology at AFRIC 2026
It is a privilege to participate in AFRIC 2026 as an International Speaker representing the United Kingdom.
Events like this provide an opportunity not only to share expertise but also to learn from colleagues working across fertility, reproductive medicine and women’s health internationally.
I look forward to connecting with fellow specialists in Cairo and contributing to discussions focused on advancing women’s health and reproductive care.
