About Us

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology is one of the oldest Departments in University College Cork. There has been a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at UCC since 1849.

The department’s aim is to lead the development of teaching and research in obstetrics and gynaecology in Ireland and to become a centre of excellence internationally. This academic agenda is fully integrated with the delivery of clinical care in Cork University Maternity Hospital, thus providing a high quality academic service across a broad range of clinical, educational and research activities.
