Fardod O’Kelly is unique in Ireland in that he is the only fully qualified paediatric and
adolescent Urologist who is also trained and licensed to practice adult Urology.

Fardod graduated with an Honours degree in medicine and a Bachelors degree in medical
science from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) in 2007 following undergraduate
Bachelors and Masters degrees in Natural Sciences (Biochemistry) from Trinity College Dublin.
He returned to Trinity in 2010 to undertake a Doctorate in Medicine in the field of prostate cancer
epigenetics, and was subsequently appointed to the higher surgical training scheme in Urology.
Following his attainment of FRCS(Urol), he pursued sub-specialist training in paediatric and
adolescent Urology in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital in Crumlin before being awarded the
prestigious Colles medal by the RCSI for further subspecialty fellowship training as well as
being a recipient of RCSI and Ethicon travel awards. He completed highly sought-after clinical
fellowships in pediatric and adolescent Urology in Canada at the Children’s Hospital of
Eastern Ontario (CHEO) in Ottawa, and at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, where he dealt with high volume upper and lower tract reconstruction, renal tumours, stone disease,
renal transplantation, functional urology and neurogenic disorders, before returning to Ireland
with his family.

Now that he has returned home, he is keen to mentor and educate others in his chosen
profession, and is involved in teaching and examining students in both UCD and RCSI. He is an
active member of many international Urological societies, and is involved in paediatric Urology
policy and education at a European level. He has published many academic articles and several
book chapters on both adult and paediatric Urology, and has a special interest in complex
reconstruction, as well as adolescent and transitional care.

Fardod is currently undertaking an MBA, and has completed a law diploma, as well as hosting the paediatric Urology podcast Circumsessions.  Happily married with 3 boys, in his spare time Fardod enjoys cooking, history and weightlifting. Having played rugby at school and university level for many years, he now coaches underage rugby through Terenure College Rugby Club, and enjoys
