Mr Sheridan qualified from Guy’s Hospital Medical School in 1979. He then went on to train in Southampton, at Queen Charlotte’s Maternity Hospital, and as a registrar and senior registrar at Guy’s and St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington. He served as an NHS Senior Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at West Herts Health Trust from 1991 – 2015 and now focuses on his busy private obstetrics and gynaecology practice based in Hertfordshire. He is also an examiner for the final membership examination of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
His private office and secretary are based at Spire Bushey Hospital, where gynaecological in-patients are admitted, outpatient appointments are made, and early pregnancy scanning takes place. He also runs an antenatal care services clinic at Centennial Medical Care in Elstree, Hertfordshire, approved and registered by the Care Quality Commission. This clinic, the first of its kind outside Central London, offers Maternity & Midwifery services locally, benefiting women from Hertfordshire, North London, and beyond.
Deliveries occur at the renowned Queen Charlottes & Chelsea Maternity Hospital in Shepherds Bush, and postnatal care is provided at Sir Stanley Clayton Ward.
Mr Sheridan practises alongside Sarah Denning, an experienced midwife, as The Birth Team (thebirthteam.com), offering comprehensive care during pregnancy and delivery.
In his NHS clinics, Mr Sheridan specialised in caring for high-risk pregnant women with medical conditions and endocrine problems, managing complications of pregnancy, including fetal scanning and amniocentesis. With over 20 years of experience in labour ward management, he dedicated time to teaching junior doctors to manage complex deliveries.
He is a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, doubly qualified as a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and a Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists of London. He performs a wide range of surgeries, including open abdominal surgery, vaginal surgery, and keyhole surgery for conditions like heavy periods, fibroids, cysts, prolapse, and incontinence. His practice includes a significant focus on hormone replacement therapy, premenstrual syndrome, and menopause management.
Mr Sheridan’s affiliation with IVF London, recognised as one of the best IVF clinics and Fertility Clinics in London, ensures that his patients receive top-quality care throughout their reproductive journeys.
