Linda Dolores Cardozo OBE is a professor of urogynaecology at King's College Hospital, London.[1]

Cardozo graduated from Liverpool University in 1974 with an MBChB and received her MD in 1979.[2][3] From 1995 she has held the position of President of the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Women's Health.[4] She has written and published books on obstetrics and gynaecology.[5][6]

In September 2007 she spoke out against the growing popularity of cosmetic vaginal surgery, saying little evidence exists to advise women on the safety or effectiveness of procedures.[7]

Cardozo was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2014 New Year Honours for services to urogynaecology and women's health.[8]
