Siobhan O'Ceallaigh

Miss O’Ceallaigh qualified in medicine from University College Dublin in 1996 and following early plastic surgical training in Ireland, moved to Manchester in 2002 to undergo a research fellowship at the University of Manchester. After the awarding of my doctoral thesis in 2005, she commenced higher surgical training in plastic and cosmetic surgery in the North West training region. She was awarded the FRCS (Plast) fellowship in plastic surgery in 2009 , and then became a National Oncoplastic Breast fellow, where she undertook her fellowship at the renowned Nottingham Breast Institute learning about the management of all aspects of breast cancer treatment, as well as refining skills in breast reconstruction.

She also undertook a National cosmetic surgery training fellowship in Nottingham and, on awarding of her Certificate of Specialist training and entry onto the Specialist register in Plastic Surgery, she was appointed as a Consultant Plastic and Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle in 2012. In June 2013, Siobhan returned to Manchester to take up a Breast Reconstruction post at Wythenshawe Hospital. Siobhan’s main specialist interest and expertise is in microsurgical breast reconstruction (DIEP, TUG flaps) and other complex and revisional breast surgery. She has previously presented at national and international meetings and has also published in scientific journals and surgical textbooks.
