Orla is originally from Cork in Ireland where she studied medicine and initially general surgery. Having seen how poor the outcomes were for women diagnosed with ovarian cancer she decided to pursue a career as a gynaecological cancer surgeon. To this end she completed a fellowship in general surgery, followed by general training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
Her Gynaecological Cancer training began in earnest when she came to Melbourne as a Fellow in 1998. Returning to the northern hemisphere she completed her training in Scotland and England and spent 5 years as a consultant with the National Health Service establishing and leading a gynaecological cancer centre in Somerset.
Orla returned to Melbourne in 2009 and she is now Director of Oncology and Dysplasia at The Women's and a lead player in the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer initiative.
