I have been working in Colchester since 2014 following completion of speciality training in Paediatrics with a specialist interest in neonatal medicine in the east of England deanery.

My time is divided between the general paediatric and neonatal services. I have a baby clinic for children under 2 and a general paediatric clinic for children under 16. I also have a clinic for babies who are discharged from the neonatal unit on home oxygen.

I have been a consultant paediatrician since January 2023 and formally joined the ESNEFT team in September 2023.

My initial training interest was in High Dependency Care within paediatrics and as part of this I looked after many extremely unwell children with Epilepsy. I also have an interest in the mental health of young people and work closely with our in-house psychology support services.

Since joining ESNEFT I have been appointed to develop specialist skills in Epilepsy and am currently undergoing additional training to provide the best service I can to those with Epilepsy.

As a Consultant paediatrician, I work in general paediatrics on the ward and in clinics with a wide range of patients. I work on the Neonatal Unit and have regular baby clinics. My special interests are paediatric endocrinology and diabetes.

A range of specialist endocrine investigations can be carried out and I see and follow up a number of endocrine patients. Ipswich Hospital’s Paediatric Diabetes team has recently expanded with increased funding.

I trained in London, where I was fortunate to gain experience in a variety of hospitals. I then transferred to East of England for the final two years of my training.

I work at Colchester for my final registrar year, and then was appointed as a Consultant in 2015. As well as my clinical work I have interests in medical education, simulation and teach NLS and APLS.

I have been a consultant paediatrician since 2014. My training and early consultant years focused on critically sick children and neonates, and then I developed an interest in paediatric palliative care and complex neurodisability.

Many of my patients have epilepsy as part of their conditions, and so I broadened my expertise in 2021 and started to work in the paediatric epilepsy service.

I am Consultant Paediatrician with special interest in neurodisability and epilepsy. I also work with children with neurodevelopmental or neurobehavioural disorders.

I work in general paediatrics, specialising in neonatal medicine, haematology including sickle cell, thalassaemia and hereditary spherocytosis.  I also support patients with cystic fibrosis.

In my role of Consultant Paediatrician with Neurodisability interest, I aim to deliver the highest standard of care to young people and their families experiencing complex neurodevelopmental problems. I have a passion for championing the rights of children with neurodisability, their access to education, medical services and above all to experience happy and fulfilling lives. I also have a strong interest in evidence-based medicine and want to better serve the speciality with opportunities of earlier intervention and scientific base.

I have set up a translational research centre The Synapse Centre for Neurodevelopment ESNEFT (East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust). The centre is looking to translate biomedical research into practical therapies for local children and their families with conditions such as Autism, ADHD, Cerebral Palsy, Intellectual disability and Genetic syndromes. The Synapse Centre seeks to be at the forefront of new era of research seeking to investigate the effects of microbiome / gut-brain axis, immune-metabolism and functional genomics that can impact on brain development. The centre will target innovative new strategies of database acquisition and phenotyping through biomarkers and biometric data.

I also lecture at Anglia Ruskin University and have a strong interest in education having completed a PGCME.
