About
Dr. Claire Higgins is a highly respected consultant gynaecologist, specialising in comprehensive outpatient gynaecology services at Westbourne Medical Studios. With a dedication to women's health, Dr. Higgins provides expert care in vulval skin conditions, problematic periods, contraception, and menopause care.
Dr. Higgins studied at the University of Aberdeen, graduating with honours in 2001. Her exceptional performance in obstetrics and gynaecology earned her the prestigious Matthews Duncan Gold Medal. She furthered her academic pursuits with a BSc Med Sci (Hons), conducting groundbreaking research on the impact of gynaecological cancer on sexual function, igniting her passion for gynaecology.
Completing her postgraduate training in Aberdeen and the West of Scotland, Dr. Higgins honed her skills with advanced clinical training in vulval disease and gynaecological ultrasound scanning. Since assuming her consultant role in 2018, she has been an integral part of the team at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, serving as the local lead for the complex vulva service within the gynaecology department.
In addition to her clinical duties, Dr. Higgins serves as an honorary senior clinical lecturer at the University of Glasgow. Her role as chair for guidelines in gynaecology in GG&C reflects her dedication to establishing best practices in the field.
Dr. Higgins has been committed to conducting research in the field, including securing funding to explore the factors contributing to vulval lichen sclerosus development. This work culminated in a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from the University of Glasgow in 2013, focusing on inflammatory pathways using the pregnant uterus model.
At Westbourne Medical Studios, Dr. Higgins is eager to apply her expertise in managing a wide range of gynaecological concerns, ensuring personalised and compassionate care for all her patients. Her dedication to women's health, combined with her extensive experience and academic achievements, positions her as a valued member of the team and a trusted healthcare provider within the community.
