About Mr Aaron McAvoy

Mr Aaron McAvoy is a Consultant Gynaecologist based at Worthing Hospital. He has a specialist interest in acute and benign gynaecology, as well as the management of menstrual disorders. He also works as a consultant urogynae cologist specialising in pelvic floor reconstruction, prolapse and unrinary incontinence issues. He has close links with the local multidisciplinary teams including urology, physiotherapy and other urogynaecologists and joins a weekly meeting to discuss complex urogynaecology cases at Worthing hospital.

Mr McAvoy initially trained in Northern Ireland and moved to England in 2017 to complete his specialist training. During this time, he undertook advanced training modules in gynaecological oncology and hysteroscopy. His training provided him with a wide range of experience in benign gynaecology and advanced minimal access (laparoscopic) surgery. After qualifying as a consultant he has continued to build his portfolio of skills including undertaking training in pelvic floor surgery for prolpase and treatment of women with urinary incontinence. he is a highly skilled endoscopist running advanced outpatient services managing women with menstrual disorders via advanced endoscopy techniques such as outpatient myomectomy and endometrial ablation.

He runs a weekly hysteroscopy clinic focused on the management of endometrial abnormalities and heavy menstrual bleeding, and the assessment of women with suspected cancer. He also performs laparoscopic procedures for conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and carries out total laparoscopic hysterectomies for benign indications as well as open hysterectomies and myomectomies for women with enlarged fibroid uterus .

Mr McAvoy treats a broad spectrum of gynaecological conditions, including pelvic pain, fibroids, polyps, menstrual disorders, prolapse, menopause, sexual dysfunction, post-menopausal bleeding, and ovulatory disorders, as well as a range of urogynaecological conditions such as overactive bladder, incontinence and prolapse. He is also I member of the British Gynae endoscopy society, and the British society for Urogynaecology.

He is a GMC-accredited educational supervisor in obstetrics and gynaecology and previously as College Tutor at Worthing and St Richard's Hospitals, during which time both units gained national recognition from the Royal college of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists for excellence in training.

Since then he has been appointed as University hospitals Sussex Deputy director for medical education. In this role, he is responsible for the training and supervision of resident doctors across the whole of University Hospitals Sussex in all specialities.

Mr McAvoy has worked regularly with multidisciplinary teams in obstetrics and gynaecology to provide training on complex communication, conflict resolution and human factors training. He is forthright in his opinion that listening carefully to patients and ensuring they have enough time to be involved in decision making about their care is a number one priority in ensuring patients are satisfied that they are recieving care they feel is correct for them. Feedback from patients has consistently shown he is able to communicate well, takes time to listen and works hard to explore all viable treatment options with a strong emphasis on patient autonomy.

Referred to Dr McAvoy for specialist advice. He was extremely approachable and took the time to review my medical history and give essential information and increase my understanding of treatment options. I felt completely at ease, listened to and that the consultation and following treatment plan was the most comprehensive support that I have received in this area.

Mr McAvoy goes above and beyond to ensure I am heard and validated. He always takes his time to explain everything to me and genuinely makes me feel like he has my best interests at heart. He always treats me with nothing but the upmost respect and the feeling is mutual. I do not trust ANY medical professional with as high regard as I trust this man. Incredible gynaecologist

Extremely professional yet friendly, calming experience during my hysteroscopy which I'd felt anxious about beforehand. Everything was explained clearly to me by Aaron, before, during and after the procedure and he had everything ready so it was all over so quickly. Really efficient and caring team and I felt extremely comfortable and well looked after. I didn't expect the experience to feel good given the procedure being done but I am so pleased to be able to say it was great!

Mr McAvoy was lovely and very considerate. I felt listened to and understood. He explained to me the possibilities, different treatments and what the diagnostic is. I felt this very helpful as i was able to understand myself more too! He was very supportive and empathetic.

I found Mr McAvoy to be very sympathetic, and he explained fully what would be involved in my surgery and managed my expectations as to the outcome. He visited me before and after surgery which was very reassuring. I fully recommend him as an extremely competent surgeon with a professional and caring bedside manner.

Dr Aaron McAvoy was the obstetrician who supported us through our second pregnancy. Having lost our first baby when she was 10 days old due to a complex heart condition, the prospect of navigating a subsequent pregnancy felt daunting and overwhelming. However, from our very first appointment, Dr McAvoy was an incredible source of strength and support for us. He always showed deep compassion for our loss and recognised the inevitable challenges it presented for us in this pregnancy. He allowed us to feel as though we were entirely free to use the time, space and his expertise in whatever way we needed on the day, and always made himself readily available for further/additional support if ever we should wish. He handled the delicate balance between validating our fears and concerns, whilst being reassuring but never dismissive, with great tact and sensitivity. We found him to be thorough, professional at all times but also personable and empathetic. His support in the journey was enormously significant in helping us to feel safe in the pregnancy which I believe ultimately also contributed to the strength of the bond we now enjoy with our baby.

Aaron was available during my pregnancy for any questions I had or care I needed. He was kind, patient, professional and reassuring when I was left with a USS result i didn’t understand. He put me at ease before and during my ELCS and made the experience calm and smooth. He put my partner at ease also. Many thanks Aaron!

I had a hysteroscopy and was anxious as I had a previous biopsy which I found painful. I was reassured and the team looked after me during the procedure, which helped ease my anxiety about the procedure l
