Dr. MARIA VELLA

Maria is a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist and brings a necessary clinical eye to the table. In her 25 years clinical experience she has seen great medical devices that she has used repeatedly and ones which she has tried once and never used again - whilst also telling colleagues of the experience.

Maria knows what clinicians want and what they don't, and most importantly knows what may present a clinical risk which many companies fail to consider, particularly in early stages.

Maria completed a two-year research fellowship in Urogynaecology with Professor Linda Cardozo at Kings College Hospital, London, followed by a three-year subspecialty program in urogynaecology. She has a passion for research and has been involved in the publication of many papers which are widely cited. She is often invited to peer reviews has presented at national and international meetings and written a number of book chapters.



Maria received recognition for best free paper in 2006 by the International Urogynaecological

Association, and again in 2012 by the European Urogynaecology Association. She is also a college tutor in charge of trainees in obstetrics and gynaecology.
