Ms Claire Clark

I trained at Sheffield Medical School qualifying in 1996. After my house jobs I came up to Edinburgh where I did the medical rotation at the RIE followed by emergency medicine. I then gained a training post on the Basic Surgical Training programme for the South East of Scotland. This lasted 2 years, during this time I worked in paediatric surgery at the RHSC Edinburgh where I discovered my passion for this wonderful speciality. I then worked in paediatric medicine and neonatal medicine for 1 year at the Simpson Maternity Unit and RHSC Edinburgh. I gained a specialty training number in Paediatric surgery and urology. I have worked in RHSC Edinburgh, Glasgow Yorkhill hospital and Mater Children's hospital Brisbane where I did a fellowship. In 2011. CCT in paediatric surgery and urology and I have been a full time consultant at the RHSC Edinburgh. I was lucky enough to be at the emergence of minimal access surgery in this age group and majority of my publications are in this area. I am a member of the Royal of Surgeons of Edinburgh, British Association of Paediatric Surgeons and secretary to the Scottish Society of Paediatric Surgeon. I live in Edinburgh with my husband who is also a surgeon we have 3 wonderful, vibrant boys.

I also have a specialist interest in continence, lower GI, tongue -tie and inflammatory bowel disease.
