About Mr Eric Mutema

Mr Mutema is a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with a special interest in
Urogynaecology.

He achieved his undergraduate qualification in 2001 and subsequently undertook training in Obstetrics & Gynaecology in the Northwest deanery, where I gained a wider experience in general Obstetrics and Gynaecology patient management. Mr Mutema then undertook further sub-specialty training in Urogynaecology at Liverpool Women's Hospital, where he widened his experience in all aspects of female pelvic floor problems including vaginal prolapse, obstetric anal sphincter injuries and urinary incontinence.

Mr Mutema was awarded the certificate of Completion of Specialist Training in Obstetrics & Gynaecology with in 2015 and I have been working as a consultant at Blackpool Teaching Hospital NHS Trust since then.

Within urogynaecology, Mr Mutema's main area of expertise is in the management of pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. With evidence favouring better recovery and outcomes from day case surgery, he has spearheaded day case pelvic floor surgery and vaginal hysterectomy practice within his region since becoming a consultant.
Mr Mutema is also a highly skilled Laparoscopic surgeon treating menstrual problems and pelvic pain.

My visit can only be described as excellent from start to finish. I was seen at the allocated time and was treated with absolute respect throughout. I was given time to explain the issue and how it was affecting me. I was astounded when I was given the option of a solution at the appointment. I agreed to this thinking this is going to hurt but hopefully it will be worth it. I honestly did not feel any pain or discomfort and from that time I have felt back to my usual healthy, happy self. Thank you Mr Mutema from the bottom of my heart.
