Dr Fiona Bach

Dr Fiona Bach is an obstetrician and gynaecologist with a special interest in urogynaecology.

This work involves general gynaecology as well as the medical and surgical treatment of prolapse and urinary incontinence. Her medical philosophy is that women should be in control of their own health and doctors should work alongside them to establish the best treatment outcomes available.

Dr Bach’s undergraduate medical training was completed at the University of Leeds in Yorkshire, UK. She continued her training in Yorkshire before taking up a position at London’s St George’s Hospital. She then volunteered in Ethiopia for six months, supporting the training programme at the University of Gondar Hospital. Fiona returned to the UK to undertake urogynaecology subspecialty training in Birmingham, before moving to Christchurch to work as an obstetrician and gynaecologist.

Outside of clinical medicine, Fiona’s research interests focus on patient reported outcomes and ways to improve patient care. She has published research papers and presented at international meetings. Fiona enjoys teaching as part of her role at Christchurch Women’s Hospital and has published two books for medical students. She continues to have a strong interest in women’s health in the developing world.
