Personal Profile

Ms Sumita Nayak, MD, FRCOG, is currently serving as a Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Wexham Park Hospital, part of the Frimley Health NHS Trust. With over 25 years of experience in Obstetrics and Gynaecology (O&G) since qualifying in 1997, she brings a wealth of knowledge to her practice.

Since 2016, Ms Nayak has been leading the gynaecological cancer service at Wexham Park Hospital, chairing the weekly local multidisciplinary team meetings (MDT). She specialises in managing women with suspected gynaecological cancer symptoms, post-menopausal bleeding, complex ovarian cysts, and abnormal smears. Additionally, she is an accredited colposcopist and trainer with over a decade of colposcopy experience.

Ms Nayak has extensive expertise in minimal access surgery, including total laparoscopic hysterectomy (keyhole surgery) for early endometrial cancer, laparoscopic bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy for complex cysts, and hysteroscopic surgery for heavy periods (ablation and endometrial resection). She is also adept at treating fibroids (hysteroscopic resection, open myomectomy, and hysterectomy), endometriosis (medical and surgical management, including Helica ablation), and ovarian cysts (laparoscopic cystectomy for benign cysts and endometriomas).

Holding a ‘Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching & Learning for Health Professionals’ (TLHP) and a ‘Post Graduate Certificate in Medical Ultrasound’, Ms Nayak has been instrumental in the training of junior doctors progressing to become O&G consultants in the UK. She has twice been awarded the RCOG (Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology) regional trainer of the year in 2020 and 2021 within the Oxford Deanery. Additionally, she received the Frimley Health NHS Trust VIP (Value into Practice) award for kindness and professionalism in March 2021 and the local clinical excellence prize by Frimley Health NHS Trust for all-round performance in 2023.
