Dr Wali's clinical practice focuses on minimal access surgery, early-stage gynaecological oncology diagnostics and treatment, and advanced labour ward care. She has particular expertise in colposcopy, outpatient hysteroscopy, gynaecology and early pregnancy ultrasound, and one-stop clinics for general gynaecology and urgent suspected cancer pathways. Her surgical practice includes both open and minimally invasive procedures for benign gynaecological conditions and early-stage gynaecology malignancy.
