Tackling Gynaecological Waiting Lists: How Affiner Is Supporting Women’s Health with Digital Solutions

In recent months, women’s health—particularly delays in gynaecological care—has taken centre stage in healthcare news, and for good reason. Across the UK and beyond, thousands of women are facing long waits for diagnosis, treatment, and specialist referrals, often for conditions that cause pain, distress, and disruption to daily life.

At Affiner, we believe this is not just a scheduling problem—it’s a health equity issue. And we’re here to help change the story.

The Hidden Toll of Delayed Gynaecological Care

From endometriosis and fibroids to menopause management and pelvic pain, gynaecological issues are too often deprioritised, leading to backlogs that disproportionately affect women. Waiting times for procedures like hysteroscopies, laparoscopies, and outpatient diagnostics have stretched into months or even years.

The impact? Physical suffering, emotional strain, missed diagnoses and reduced quality of life.

Digital Innovation with a Purpose

Affiner is proud to offer solutions designed to ease this burden and improve access—not sometime in the future, but now.

By partnering with established platforms like Open Medical and leveraging our expertise in workflow redesign, digital triage, and pathway optimisation, we’re bringing tangible support to overstretched services.

How Affiner’s Solutions Can Help:

  • Streamlined Triage: Smart digital tools that prioritise high-risk patients more efficiently and reduce bottlenecks.
  • Workflow Automation: Clinical admin and referral processes made faster and more accurate, freeing up clinician time.
  • Real-Time Visibility: Dashboards that help services track capacity, wait times, and caseloads at a glance.
  • Custom Pathways: Tailored digital pathways for common gynaecological concerns, allowing services to manage demand more proactively.

Collaborating for Change

We’re not here to replace existing care systems—we’re here to enhance them, working hand-in-hand with clinical teams to implement tools that work for them and with them.

“Women’s health should never be an afterthought. Our mission is to help ensure every woman gets timely, compassionate care—with systems built to support that goal.”
