I have a wealth of neonatal and paediatric experience of over 25 years and have had training in some of the most prestigious hospitals in the UK including St Georges Hospital, King's College Hospital, Royal London Hospital and Evelina Childrens Hospital, London. I am a UNICEF trained breast feeding specialist, use Bayley scales for tracking infant neurodevelopment and have a keen interest in infant growth and development.

I have been working as a Consultant Neonatologist at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital for the past 10 years. The NICU at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital is the designated level 3 tertiary surgical neonatal unit for Northwest London network looking after some of the sickest newborns as well as those born prematurely or with other surgical problems.

I have a strong interest in teaching, training and simulation. I am the joint Simulation lead for NICU and Medical Director for Newborn Life Support Course. I am also an instructor for the European Paediatric Advanced Life Support Course.

I have also completed with distinction the Corndel Leadership and Management apprenticeship and been awarded Chartered Manager Fellowship status with CMI, UK.
