Simone Vella is a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist at Princess Royal Maternity/Glasgow Royal Infirmary. She is undergraduate lead for obstetrics & gynaecology for the University of Glasgow Medical School, as well as undergraduate simulation lead for obstetrics and gynaecology for NHS GGC. She is college tutor for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists at Princess Royal Maternity in Glasgow. In 1995, she qualified from the University of Malta Medical School. Her postgraduate training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology took place in the UK, initially in Yorkshire and then in the West of Scotland. In 2007, she received a Certificate of Completion of training in Obstetrics & Gynaecology and became a Senior Clinical University Teacher at the University of Glasgow and an Honorary Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Princess Royal Maternity/Glasgow Royal Infirmary. She took a career break to spend time with her young family and returned to full time work in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 2013 and has been a consultant at the Princess Royal Maternity/Glasgow Royal Infirmary ever since. Her regular one-stop clinics in the NHS give her the opportunity to see patients with gynaecological complaints like menstrual disorders or postmenopausal bleeding, examine them, carry out a transvaginal ultrasound, and where required a hysteroscopy, and initiate treatment all in the one visit. She co-runs a multidisciplinary tertiary gynaecology dermatology clinic in the NHS treating women with vulval disorders which have been unresponsive to treatment. She also investigates and treats women with abnormal smear tests in her NHS colposcopy clinics.
