DR. Juliet Skinner, MRCOG, MRCPI.

Head Clinician
Barbados Fertility Centre

After being awarded the Barbados scholarship, Dr Skinner, completed her undergraduate medical training at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. Women’s health was always of special interest to her from early on in her training and she specialised in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. After completing her specialisation in Dublin she continued as Perinatal Research Fellow. During this time she developed and evaluated a number of ultrasound diagnostic tests both for fertility and for obstetrics. In 1999 she returned home to Barbados where she dedicated her time to expanding the medical care options to women on the island and within the Caribbean.

Fertility and IVF then became the main focus of her interest. While Barbados has a population too small to justify an IVF unit the vision was to develop Barbados Fertility Centre as a centre of excellence which would treat couples from all over the world. This would be possible by medical tourism, and would benefit local Barbadians by having a service otherwise not possible. But specific to infertility would allow couples from abroad to benefit from the tranquility and relaxation gained from this beautiful island, coupled with acupuncture, reflexology and massage along with the latest medical IVF treatments.

Dr Skinner is a Consultant Gynaecologist who leads the team at Barbados Fertility Centre.
