Professor Dame Lesley Regan is the Womens’ Health Ambassador for England. She is also a Professor of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Imperial College London, Consultant at St Mary’s Hospital in London  Honorary Secretary of FIGO, and Chair of the Charity Wellbeing of Women.

She was the 30th President of Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) (2016-2019). During her tenure as PRCOG she co-chaired the National Women’s Health Task Force with Jackie Doyle-Price MP (then Health Minister) and authored “Better for Women”, a hard hitting RCOG report which promotes a life-course approach to the delivery of women’s health services. 

Having graduated from the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine, London in 1980, Professor Regan pursued her training at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, where she first became enthused by clinical and laboratory research, completing her MD on miscarriage.  She went on to set up the world’s largest recurrent miscarriage clinic at St Mary’s Hospital in London.

In 2015 she received a Doctorate of Science from University College London for her contribution to women's health.  In 2020 she was awarded a DBE for her services to women’s health in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours List.
