Sarah T. O Dwyer BSc, MBChB, MD, FRCS, FRCSEd

Professor O'Dwyer is a highly experienced consultant surgeon with an international reputation for her work in the areas of colorectal disease and peritoneal malignancy. She is a graduate of the University of St Andrew's and The Victoria University of Manchester. She was awarded a Research Fellowship at Harvard University, USA, and travelling Fellowships to New South Wales, Australia, The Mayo Clinic and Minneapolis USA. Her first consultant post in 1992 was at The University Hospital Trust, Birmingham, and she took up her current post at The Christie.

Professor O'Dwyer has actively engaged in clinical management to improve services regionally and nationally and has worked with NHS England to support national commissioning of services for pseudomyxoma peritonei, colorectal peritoneal metastases and robotic surgery. This has allowed The Christie to introduce advanced surgical training fellowships approved by the Royal College of Surgeons, the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland, and the European Society of Surgical Oncology. This enhanced training and knowledge transfer has allowed surgeons from the UK and abroad to learn new skills and introduce novel techniques.
