He has published over 130 peer reviewed journal articles, 8 book chapters and has authored and co-authored 13 major systematic reviews. He was a founding Editor of the Cochrane Urinary and Faecal Incontinence Review Group 1995-2013. Don was awarded the ONZM Honour this year for services to obstetrics and gynaecology.

Fiona’s undergraduate medical training was completed at the University of Leeds in Yorkshire, UK. She continued her training in Yorkshire before taking up a position at London’s St George’s Hospital. She then volunteered in Ethiopia for six months, supporting the training programme at the University of Gondar Hospital.

Fiona returned to the UK to undertake urogynaecology subspecialty training in Birmingham, before moving to New Zealand. She now works as an obstetrician and gynaecologist in Ōtautahi Christchurch and enjoys a balance between private and public working.

She is very involved with pelvic floor medicine and surgery in conjunction with mini��ý��� to optomise standards of care for women affected by these conditions. Outside of clinical medicine, Fiona’s research interests focus on patient reported outcomes and she completed her MD research degree in this area.
