03  Profile

Who Neil MacLachlan is

Neil MacLachlan MBE FRCOG is a consultant gynaecologist in Jersey. He was a consultant obstetrician-gynaecologist for the States of Jersey for over 30 years and now runs the Lido Women's Health Hub.

His Women's Health Hub profile says he helped introduce and develop IVF services in Jersey in 1991 and has worked in women's health and gynaecology for over 40 years. In Jersey press coverage he has called for a dedicated gynaecology ward to be reinstated, and said he was disappointed that ministers shelved a standalone Women's Health Strategy. In October 2025 he argued that Jersey's health funding is 'running on empty', and he suggested an Australian-style income levy as a model.

He also founded the Jersey Love Hearts Appeal and gave evidence on organ donation to a States Assembly scrutiny panel in 2018.
