Assoc Prof Carla Moran
Contact:
At present, due to the high volume of referrals and a waiting list of over 12 months for new appointments, Associate Professor Moran is unable to accept referrals for routine endocrine problems. Given her subspecialty interests, she is prioritising referrals for thyroid disease (such thyrotoxicosis, thyroid nodules), parathyroid disease (hypercalcaemia) and endocrine problems prior to or during pregnancy.
She always has appointments for urgent cases and can see patients with a new diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis within 2 weeks.
Patients who previously attended her service will be always be accommodated if they need to return.

Experience:
Associate Professor Moran brings to the Beacon Hospital her particular expertise in endocrine disorders, having led the thyroid service in Cambridge, where she developed specialist services (endocrine disease in pregnancy, rare thyroid disorders, drug-induced thyroid dysfunction and virtual clinics), expanded a multidisciplinary thyroid biopsy clinic and conducted busy general thyroid and endocrine clinics.
She has an interest in investigation of discordant thyroid function, having directed a national referral service for patients in the UK. Through collaboration with the University of Cambridge, she continues to perform research on rare thyroid disease and has published over 70 papers describing results of original research, as well as review papers and book chapters. She holds an adjunct position as Associate Professor with University College Dublin.
Her reputation is reflected in invitations to perform leadership roles in national societies (British Thyroid Association, Society for Endocrinology, American Thyroid Association), speak at national and international conferences, as well as invited membership of European guideline development committees for thyroid disease. In 2024, she was awarded the highly prestigious Van Meter Award by the American Thyroid Association for her contributions to thyroid research.
Dr Moran frequently receives strongly positive feedback from patients on her clinical care and service development; she engages regularly with patient societies such as the British Thyroid Foundation as a voluntary speaker and medical expert.
