About Professor Sara Hillman
Dr. Sara Hillman is a Professor of Genomic Medicine and Consultant Obstetrician & Fetal Medicine Specialist at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH), where she oversees the management of both low-risk and high-risk pregnancies. At UCLH, Prof. Hillman provides comprehensive care, particularly focusing on complex fetal and maternal prenatal issues. She leads a weekly fetal medicine scanning clinic, which provides specialist management for complex fetal anomalies, particularly those with possible genetic causes.
Prof. Hillman earned her medical degree from University College London in 2003, complemented by a BSc in Neuroscience. In 2014, she completed her PhD, which investigated the influence of genetics and environmental factors on fetal growth. In addition to her clinical responsibilities, She is deeply committed to medical education. She serves as the Academic Training Program Director for the London School of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and acts as both an educational and clinical supervisor for junior doctors.
At UCLH, Prof. Hillman plays a central role in quality improvement initiatives, leading projects such as pre-eclampsia screening and the introduction of a dedicated service to turn breech babies, facilitating safer vaginal births. She has also conducted significant research into the added value of genetic testing for fetal structural anomalies, with her findings recently published.
Prof. Hillman is also a leading figure in research, focusing on the mechanisms underlying pre-eclampsia and fetal growth restriction. Her research group, funded by the Medical Research Council, examines cell communication within pregnancy tissues, including those of the fetus, placenta, and womb. Additionally, she collaborates on studies exploring new technologies to reduce stillbirth and advance our understanding of normal human development.
With a passion for improving maternal and fetal health globally, Prof. Hillman has led several international projects tackling issues such as anaemia, poor fetal growth, and severe obstetric complications. Through her diverse roles in clinical care, research, education, and quality improvement, she is committed to advancing healthcare practices and improving patient outcomes.

I had such a wonderful experience with Sara, who delivered our baby girl. She made my birth so special; all women deserve to experience maternity services like this.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this review. Your words mean so much to me. It is a privilege to have cared for you.
I feel truly grateful to have been under Dr Sara Hillman’s care at such an important time in our lives. From our first appointment, she created a sense of calm and trust. She combines clinical excellence with genuine compassion, and this balance made a real difference to my experience. I always felt listened to, respected, and fully informed. What stands out most is the way she supports and empowers women. She communicates clearly, explains options carefully, and gives you confidence in your own decisions. Even during uncertain moments, her calm presence made me feel safe and reassured. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any expectant mother seeking expert care delivered with warmth and strength. Thank you for helping us welcome our baby safely into the world. We will always remember it with gratitude.

Dr Sara Hillman made the experience as smooth as possible. She was very supportive pre birth as well as post partum. She also supported us navigate a very complicated situation and ensuring that things went as smoothly as possible. She is professional, yet caring. I would strongly recommend her as a consultant to anyone looking to give birth.
Thank you so much for your kind and generous words. It was a privilege to support you through such an important time, and I am very glad to hear that you felt well supported both before and after the birth.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and for your recommendation. I wish you and your family every happiness as you settle into this next stage.
Dr. Sara was our consultant guiding us through birth of our second baby, which ended up being one of the most magical experiences. We’re so grateful and if we ever decide to have another child we would always choose dr. Sara.

Dr. Hillman is the best choice I could have made when deciding who to go with for delivery of my baby and taking care of me during and after pregnancy. She is very attentive to detail, her surgical handiwork is stellar and her bedside manner is excellent. I felt very at home with her and the team at the hospital and if I ever happen to have another baby I know where I am going and who I am going with!
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and generous message. I am truly grateful that you felt so confident and at ease throughout your pregnancy, delivery, and postnatal care. Knowing that you felt well looked after, both clinically and personally, is exactly what I strive for, and I am very pleased that you felt supported by the wider hospital team as well. Thank you for placing your trust in me at such an important time. It was a privilege to care for you, and I wish you and your family all the very best. Should you ever need care again in the future, I would of course be very happy to support you.
