Impington’s Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital is celebrating five years as an Endometriosis Centre of Excellence.
The hospital’s EndoCare Centre has been accredited, for the 5th consecutive year, by the British Society of Gynaecological Endoscopy (BSGE), establishing it as one of the busiest centres for endometriosis care in the UK.
The hospital’s recognition coincides with Endometriosis Action Month 2025 this March, an initiative aimed at raising awareness and improving education for young people and healthcare practitioners around the condition.
Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age worldwide and it occurs when cells similar to the ones in the lining of the womb are found elsewhere in the body. These cells can grow and change causing inflammation, pain and scar tissue.
But despite the condition causing women debilitating pain and disruption to their daily lives, careers and fertility, it remains widely misdiagnosed.
The EndoCare centre, on New Road, Impington, is led by world-renowned endometriosis specialist, Professor Mohamed Mabrouk and has treated more than 3,000 patients and operated on more than 500 patients suffering from endometriosis in the last five years.
Multi-disciplinary approach
Management and treatment of severe endometriosis at Spire Cambridge Lea involves a multi-disciplinary approach and brings together consultants and experts in colorectal, urology, radiology and pain management specialties as well as a dedicated specialist nurse.
Professor Mohamed Mabrouk explained: “One of the most crucial aspects of our approach, is listening to the patient. Every woman’s experience with endometriosis is unique. Taking the time to understand each patient’s concerns and symptoms is fundamental in meeting their needs.”
He continued: “I am thrilled that our centre of excellence has retained its BSGE accreditation for the 5th year. Thanks to every member of the team.”
