PSS in conversation with Dr Asli Ucyigit - Obstetrician & Gynaecologist
In Episode 1 of PSS in Conversation with, CEO of Pregnancy Sickness Support speaks to Dr Asli Ucyigit - Obstetrician & Gynaecologist at Epsom & St Helier Hospitals.
Dr Asli Ucyigit suffered with Hyperemesis Gravidarum in both of her pregnancies and was shocked to learn that despite her clinical training, experience and quite literally working within maternity, her access to care, treatment and empathy was no different to other sufferers....poor.
Dr Asli Ucyigit talks briefly about her experience with HG and her decision to spearhead a new Ambulatory Hyperemesis Unit within the hospital. A collaborative effort born from her A&E Department colleagues who were desperate to move Hyperemesis care out of the emergency department, she started work quickly, looking at data and stats and presenting to the hospital board the idea.
The service was launched in 2024 and is available to anyone who has been diagnosed with Hyperemesis or who has had a previous Hyperemesis pregnancy.
If you are interested in starting your own Ambulatory Hyperemesis Unit check out their website of contact us charlotte@pregnancysicknesssupport.org.uk and we can help.
