Consultant surgeon and new CEO of Tallaght Hospital, Prof Kevin Conlon, has been elected as the new president of the Pancreatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland (PSGBI).
Prof Conlon — who has taken over as CEO of the hospital from Michael Lyons, who resigned last month for health reasons — was previously Medical Director of the hospital and Head of the Professorial Surgical Unit in TCD.
Prior to joining AMNCH, Prof Conlon was Associate Chairman of the Department of Surgery in Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York and received his MBA from Columbia University in New York. He is married with three children.
The surgeon was heavily involved with the opening of the first Centre for Pan-creatico–Biliary Diseases in Ireland, which aims to harness resources within AMNCH to develop novel, integrated multidisciplinary programmes in clinical care and research for patients with benign and malignant pancreatico-biliary diseases.
Prof Conlon was not the only Irish delegate recognised at the Society’s Annual Scientific Meeting last month. Sinead Duggan, Research Nutritionist/Dietician, AMNCH, won the overall prize at the conference. She was also voted in as Vice-Chair of the Nutrition Interest Group of the Pancreas Society for 2010-11.
