Mr Jawad Freites

Mr Freites is a Consultant Gynaecologist with advanced accredited training and extensive experience in urogynaecology and pelvic floor surgery. He is currently employed at York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, where he serves as Urogynaecology Lead.

He began his specialist training in York in 2007, was admitted to Membership of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in 2012, and completed higher specialist training in 2014. Since then, he has worked as a Consultant across York, Malton, and Scarborough hospitals. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, a senior professional distinction recognising his expertise and contribution to the specialty.

During his training, Mr Freites developed a strong interest in benign gynaecological pathology and its impact on women’s quality of life, particularly in relation to pelvic floor health. As he refined his surgical skills in both minimally invasive and open techniques, he developed a particular focus on pelvic floor dysfunction. To further his expertise, he completed an advanced training module in urogynaecology and vaginal surgery through the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, specialising in the treatment of complex pelvic floor prolapse and urinary incontinence.

Over the past decade, he has continued to expand his pelvic floor practice through dedicated clinical work, research activity, and service development. As Urogynaecology Lead for the Trust, he co chairs the Pelvic Floor Multidisciplinary Team and develops personalised care pathways tailored to each patient’s needs.

Through his specialist clinical work and service development, Mr Freites regularly receives referrals from consultant colleagues across York and Scarborough, including colleagues from other specialties, for the treatment of complex pelvic floor pathology. This includes minimal access and joint specialty laparoscopic surgery for multi compartment pelvic organ prolapse, and specialist non mesh continence procedures such as fascial sling surgery and colposuspension for complex or recurrent urinary incontinence that would previously have required referral outside the Trust.

He is known for his warm, approachable, and patient centred style of care. He takes time to listen carefully, understand how symptoms affect day to day life, and explains findings and treatment options clearly and in easy to understand terms. He is a strong advocate for shared decision making, ensuring every patient feels heard, well informed, and comfortable with the plan agreed together.
