Private Obstetric Care with Dr Keith Duncan MD FRCOG
Obstetric care is the specialist medical care of pregnancy, birth and the weeks that follow. Choosing a private obstetrician means your pregnancy is overseen by one named consultant - a doctor with the training and experience to anticipate, monitor and manage whatever your pregnancy brings, and who is there for you from your first appointment through to your delivery.
Dr Keith Duncan MD FRCOG is a leading consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist based in London. With over 30 years' experience, he has delivered more than 4,000 babies both in the NHS and as a private obstetrician, and has been a sub-specialist in Maternal and Fetal Medicine since 2001.
What does a private obstetrician do?
A private obstetrician takes overall responsibility for your care throughout pregnancy - from confirming and dating your pregnancy, to monitoring your baby's growth and wellbeing, identifying and managing any complications, planning your birth, and caring for you afterwards. As the same consultant oversees every stage, your care stays consistent and personal from beginning to end.
What is consultant-led care?
Consultant-led care means you see the same named consultant at every appointment, not a rotation. Dr Duncan sees every patient personally at every visit, performs the scans himself, and attends the delivery. Every patient is given his personal mobile number, with 24hr access for support throughout the pregnancy.

Dr Duncan's Areas of Expertise
Dr Duncan's expertise covers every stage of pregnancy, from early scanning and antenatal care through to delivery, but it is in high-risk and multiple pregnancies that his sub-specialist training makes the greatest difference. As a sub-specialist in Maternal and Fetal Medicine, an accreditation he was awarded in 2001, he has spent over two decades caring for pregnancies that need closer monitoring and precise planning, and was one of the pioneers of the use of MRI in fetal assessment, for which he was awarded his MD thesis.
Higher-risk does not mean inevitable difficulty. With the right monitoring and a consultant who knows your pregnancy in detail, it means planning more precisely and intervening earlier if needed - exactly the care Dr Duncan is known for.
Clinics & Appointments
Dr Duncan holds antenatal clinics across London five days a week, at The Portland Hospital, 132 Harley Street and Ovara Health, with online consultations available for patients in the UK and worldwide. A GP referral is not always required to arrange a private consultation, though some insurers ask for one, so it is worth checking with your provider first. Please contact us to arrange your appointment or book online.
