I have been a Consultant Community Paediatrician for eight years and have specialised in Community Paediatrics for ten years. I specialise in the assessment, investigation and management of neurodevelopmental disorders such as developmental delay, Autism and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
