About

Mr Mortimer was appointed as an NHS Consultant in Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Sunderland Royal Hospital in 2016. He moved to the South West for family reasons, becoming a Consultant in O&G at North Devon District Hospital in December 2019. He became Lead Clinician at NDDH in April 2021.
Mr Mortimer trained in the North East in General O&G but specialised in Urogynaecology, training in two tertiary-level hospitals.

Mr Mortimer is happy to see patients without a GP referral and can provide ultrasound assessment at the time of consultation if this is indicated. 

Mr Mortimer does not specialise in endometriosis so is unable to see patients with these symptoms.
