I was fortunate to receive a JOGS Travel Research Bursary in 2021.
This funding assisted me in my move to Toronto for a year to complete my clinical fellowship in Paediatric and Adolescent Gynaecology at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto. Moving for fellowship is always a significant expense for people at a trainee level. In my particular experience, it was even more challenging as we had to move during Covid which gave extra expenses such as the need to quarantine for longer and flights being extremely expensive.
My training during my fellowship equipped me with the necessary skills and expertise to become a consultant in Obstetrics and Paediatric and Adolescent Gynaecology in Ireland. I am one of only three people in the country who have completed this level of international training, and we offer an extremely important unique service to the children and adolescent attending us, many of whom have significant additional medical or social needs. The JOGS Travel Bursary assisted me in my goals of achieving this level of training by giving me much valued funds to travel for this important work and I am extremely appreciative of same.
As an organisation, JOGS is a leader for Obstetrics and Gynaecology trainees with the best interest of the individual and the service at heart. I would have no hesitations in encouraging organisations to support them financially in order to assist them to reach their goals.

Receiving the financial support and endorsement from JOGS to participate in the 2019 ENTOG Exchange in Poland opened up a whole range of career development opportunities for me. The exposure in observing and comparing how Obstetrics & Gynaecology is practiced in other European countries was not limited to Poland as the exchange connected me to trainees from 34 other ENTOG member countries.
The connection with European colleagues is further deepened when I was elected into the ENTOG Executive Committee as the Secretary General. As part of the committee, I had the opportunity to represent European trainees at the European Board & College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (EBCOG) in key activities and connect with colleagues at World Association of Trainees in Obstetrics & Gynaecology (WATOG), (International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) along with a number of European Subspecialty Organisations. A notable personal triumph is the development of a collaboration with the European Society of Sexual Medicine (ESSM) to increase Obstetrics & Gynaecology representation in the field of Sexual Medicine in order to raise awareness, educate peers and patients and advocate for patients with Female Sexual Dysfunction – a passion subject of mine.
I have no doubt that these opportunities had led to the development of my leadership, management and research profile as a future Obstetrics & Gynaecology Consultant. These opportunities afforded to me would have been slower to spark if not for JOGS objectives in providing career development opportunities for Obstetrics & Gynaecology trainees and made possible by the deeply appreciated generosity from medical device/ drug companies in Ireland.
