• Geraldine Connolly •
Consultant Obstetrician/Gynaecologist
Rotunda/ Temple Street Hospitals
- Set up and ran the first specialised adolescent and paediatric gynae clinics in Ireland in the Rotunda and Temple Street Hospitals (2004-2023)
- Established a dedicated teen pregnancy clinic in the Rotunda providing continuity of care during pregnancy and organising postpartum contraception and education.
- Many years working in menopause, fertility, recurrent miscarriage, and general gynae clinics.
- Over the years I realised that the medical model which concentrates in treating and managing gynae problems is not enough. As time went on, I was medicating less and educating more, aiming to give back autonomy and confidence to the woman/girl sitting before me. I am delighted to continue this path in collaboration with Paula, reducing the fear and anxiety, and providing information, techniques, and tools to help.
