Dr Deirdre Little
GP Obstetrician
Deirdre Little is a GP/Obstetrician who is currently the Medical Director of Lilyrose. She has been a visiting medical officer at Bellingen Hospital and a local GP, and was a founding doctor of Lilyrose. Lilyrose was seen by Deirdre and other GP obstetricians as a way forward for mothers and pregnancies in what can be a difficult and expensive time, often without a great deal of support. Deirdre has also written papers on reproductive health topics, published in various medical journals including the British Medical Journal of Evidence Based Medicine. Deirdre loves to write, loves camping and snorkelling, and spending time with her grandchildren.
