7: Your Best Self with Dr Vicky O'Dwyer, Consultant Obstetrician & Director of Gynaecology at the Rotunda Your Best Self

- Careers
Over the course of her career my guest this week has delivered over 1,000 babies. Dr Vicky O'Dwyer is a mum of three, a Consultant Obstetrician and Director of Gynaecology at the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin.
She holds a medical doctorate, completed a fellowship in maternal medicine and went on to run a national preterm prevention clinic before joining the Rotunda. She previously led the Rotunda's colposcopy department before taking on her current role as their Director of Gynaecology.
She tells me what sparked her passion for medicine - and in particular, her love of the labour ward. We discuss everything from baby booms in a pandemic, to the Cervical Screening Program and how the 2018 referendum (which repealed Ireland's abortion ban) has impacted clinical practice and maternal medicine in Ireland.
If there's a guest you'd like to hear from in Season 2 or you'd like to get in touch with the podcast, you can email us at yourbestselfpodcast2021@gmail.com
