Speaker bio:
Vikram Talaulikar became interested in a career in healthcare from a young age, as his father specialised in obstetrics and gynaecology. This led Talaulikar to study this field, and he graduated with an MBBS from Goa Medical College, India, in 2003. Just 4 years later, he graduated with an MD in obstetrics and gynaecology from the same institution. He then travelled to London, where he completed his fellowship at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), as well as a PhD at St George’s, University of London, UK.
At present, Talaulikar is an Associate Specialist in reproductive medicine at the University College London Hospitals (UCLH) NHS Foundation Trust, UK, and Honorary Associate Professor in women’s health at the University College London (UCL), UK. He also runs an incredibly busy menopause and polycystic ovary syndrome clinic at University College London Hospital, as well as a menopause clinic in London’s prestigious Harley Street.
