Mr Peter J Meagher MSc FRCSI FRCS (Plast) Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon I studied medicine at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and qualified in 1989. I did my initial surgical training in vascular surgery, orthopaedic surgery and colorectal surgery in Dublin before deciding to specialize in plastic surgery. I qualified as a General Surgeon in 1993 and was awarded the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (FRCSI). I then commenced a six year plastic surgery training programme, the first year of which was spent at St James' Hospital in Dublin and Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children in Crumlin, Ireland. The remaining five years of my plastic surgery training were spent in the United Kingdom where I worked at Guy's and St Thomas's Hospital, University College Hospital (UCH), the Middlesex Hospital, Queen Mary's University Hospital, Roehampton, and St George's Hospital in Tooting where I completed my training in 1999. Having completed the appropriate examinations I was awarded my Certificate of Completion of Surgical Training (CCST) in September 1999 and received a Fellowship Plastic Surgery Division of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS Plast). My specializing interest is reconstructive breast surgery and I subsequently spent two years at the Bernard O'Brien Institute of Microsurgery in Melbourne training in this prior to be appointed as a Consultant Plastic Surgeon at St George's Hospital, London. This is the largest NHS hospital in the UK and is closely linked to St George's Hospital Medical School where I am Honorary Senior Lecturer in the Department of Surgery. I am heavily committed to the teaching and training of junior doctors and nurses who have an interest in plastic surgery. In addition to being a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons I am also an associate member of the British Association of Plastic Surgeons (BAPS), the British Society for Surgery of the Hand (BSSH), the Australian Hand Surgery Society (AHSS) as well as being a full member of the Irish Association of Plastic Surgeons (IAPS), the Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) the British Medical Association (BMA) and the Royal Society of Medicine (RSM), London. I have full registration with the General Medical Council (UK) and the Medical Council (IRL). My private practice interests include all aspects of plastic and reconstructive surgery, in particular surgery of the breast, skin and hand surgery.
