ABOUT ME

I’m an Obstetrician, Gynaecologist, Senior Lecturer and a Maternal-Fetal Medicine sub-specialist (expert in high-risk obstetrics) based in Cork University Maternity Hospital (CUMH), Cork, Ireland.

My practice is modern and evidence-based, with an emphasis on great communication and working together to achieve the best for you and your baby. I am very supportive of natural childbirth, a mother’s choices but also highly experienced in Caesarean section.

My practice is a friendly, welcoming environment where I encourage you to ask questions and to feel comfortable discussing every aspect of your care. Good communication is at the heart of my approach, so that you are able to make the best, most informed choices for your pregnancy.

I am also very active in teaching and research. I have published more than 100 scientific papers in some of the leading journals worldwide, written chapters for major medical textbooks, acted as a reviewer for international medical journals, and hold a PhD from University College Cork and a Masters in Epidemiology from the University of London. I regularly teach medical students and junior doctors and have been invited to give lectures to GPs, midwives and other obstetricians, both in Ireland and internationally.

I am a father of four children under six, a husband of one fantastic wife and understand the pressures pregnancy can bring to young families. I will support you through your pregnancy and I am committed to providing you with the highest quality obstetric care, based on the most up-to-date knowledge and research.

MY STORY

Prior to returning to Cork in 2017 with my lovely wife, I worked in specialist maternity units in Dublin, London, Toronto and Melbourne.

These are some of the busiest and most respected obstetric hospitals worldwide, allowing me to offer you a fresh and contemporary international perspective on best-practice pregnancy care.

Having completed a busy three year fellowship in maternal and fetal medicine at St Thomas’ Hospital and King’s College London, I am one of the few RCOG accredited Maternal-Fetal Medicine sub-specialists (experts in high-risk pregnancy) in Ireland.

WHAT MY PATIENTS SAY

Thank you for your care over the past two weeks. You really took into consideration my wishes and took positive actions and I really appreciate it. I really wanted to avoid the section but at the end of the day had no regrets as you allowed us try everything. M, M, R & P

I also lead a large multi-centre research study examining the cardiovascular function of women after pregnancies affected by preterm pre-eclampsia.

In addition to my clinical experience, I am very active in teaching and research. I have published approximately 100 scientific papers, written chapters for major medical textbooks, acted as a reviewer for international medical journals and received numerous grants to support my research.

I hold a PhD from University College Cork, for which I was awarded a prestigious international scholarship from Molecular Medicine Ireland.

I regularly teach medical students and junior doctors and have been invited to give lectures to GPs, midwives and other obstetricians, both in Ireland and internationally.

WHAT MY PATIENTS SAY

To say thank you barely scratches the surface in expressing how grateful we are Fergus. All your care and attention throughout the pregnancy and delivery was just outstanding and so appreciated. J&A
