Guernsey’s Lauren Green has returned to the island to join the Medical Specialist Group (MSG) as a consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology with a subspecialty in maternal and fetal medicine.
She joins the team on 4 October from the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford where she has been a consultant since 2019.
During her time at the John Radcliffe Miss Green was part of the tertiary maternal medicine team and led a specialist fetal medicine clinic for women with monochorionic twin pregnancies (identical twins who share one placenta). She was also an educational supervisor, wellbeing lead for maternity, deputy lead for clinical competency and coordinated multi-professional simulation training courses to promote best practice.
Lauren was born and educated in Guernsey before undertaking her medical training at the University of Southampton with a BSc (Hons) degree in biomedical sciences. She completed her postgraduate training in the Oxford Deanery where she also conducted clinical research studies, gaining a postgraduate diploma from the University of Oxford and publishing numerous peer-reviewed articles in international journals on maternal physiology in pregnancy.
Lauren says: “I am passionate about providing care throughout pregnancy, which includes early pregnancy, antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care, sonographic assessment of fetal wellbeing and pre-pregnancy counselling. Working collaboratively with women and their partners as part of a multi-professional team is really important to me. I am excited to be returning home and introducing my husband and son to island life.”
Dr Clare Betteridge, Directorate Chair of women and child health, says: “We are delighted that an obstetrician with Lauren’s extensive experience will be joining us and we look forward to working with her.”
Outside work, Lauren enjoys open water swimming, running, and spending time outdoors with her family. Last year she completed the virtual Thames Swimarathon and (pre-pandemic) climbed Mount Snowdon in Wales.
