Dr Sarah McDonnell studied medicine at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, qualifying with honours in 2001 and was drawn to general practice due to its’ focus on comprehensive, whole person care. Sarah is passionate about the difference high quality GP care can make to individuals, families and society. Sarah has practiced as a GP for over 15 years in Ireland, regional Victoria, and Brisbane since moving here in 2016.
Whilst she is happy to see patients of all ages and genders, Sarah has developed particular skills and experience in the areas of women’s health and sexual health. She has completed the National Certificate in Reproductive and Sexual Health with additional training in long acting contraceptive device insertion, including Mirena insertion. She enjoys providing shared antenatal care for women attending RBWH. Sarah is a current member of the Australasian Menopause Society, which provides ongoing education for doctors interested in the management of menopausal symptoms and women’s health in midlife.
Other areas of interest include chronic disease management and preventive medicine. Sarah obtained her Masters in Public Health from Monash University in 2018. She also completed a postgraduate diploma in dermatology and a certificate in skin cancer medicine and is experienced in medical dermatology, including skin checks and management of common conditions such as eczema in general practice.
Sarah has also been involved in training medical students and GP registrars throughout her career, including as a supervisor with GPTQ. Advocacy for general practice is also important to Sarah, and she has been a past member of the RACGP Victoria Women in GP committee and Queensland RACGP New Fellows Committee.
With three young daughters Sarah is kept on her toes at home. As well as spending time with her family she enjoys yoga, running and being outdoors. She is now happily settled in Brisbane’s inner west and is delighted to own and run Neighbourhood Medical in collaboration with Dr Nicole White.
