Life

Of Irish extraction,[citation needed] O'Shaughnessy was born on 26 March 1976 in Taplow, Buckinghamshire, England.[1] He was educated in Berkshire at Claires Court School[citation needed] then Wellington College. He went up to St Hugh's College, Oxford to read philosophy, politics and economics, graduating in 1998 with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree: as per tradition, his BA was promoted to a Master of Arts (MA Oxon) degree.[1]

A former Downing Street aide, he was Director of Policy to Prime Minister David Cameron from May 2010 to October 2011.[2]

Created a life peer on 1 October 2015, he took the title Baron O'Shaughnessy, of Maidenhead in the Royal County of Berkshire,[3] before being appointed as Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department of Health and Social Care and as a Lord-in-Waiting (i.e. Government Whip in the House of Lords) on 21 December 2016.[4] He resigned on 31 December 2018 due to "family circumstances."[5]

In March 2021, Lord O'Shaughnessy founded Newmarket Strategy, a medical consultancy.[6]
