I have previously been the RCPCH College Tutor at Liverpool Women’s Hospital, Trainee Programme Director for Paediatrics in Health Education England (North West) and Named Doctor for Safeguarding Children at Liverpool Women’s Hospital.

    I graduated in Medicine from the University of Liverpool with Honours in 2000 and obtained Membership of the Royal College of Paediatrics in 2004. I undertook research into Neonatal Heart Rate Variability monitoring in 2006 and was awarded a Doctorate of Medicine (MD) by the University of Liverpool in 2012. I have lectured both nationally and internationally on ventilation and physiological monitoring of the neonate, published in peer reviewed journals and authored and edited paediatric textbooks.

    I was appointed to the national grid training programme for Neonatal medicine in 2008, training in 3 tertiary Neonatal Intensive Care Units. In 2010 I was appointed as a Consultant Neonatologist at Liverpool Women’s Hospital, the largest maternity Hospital in Europe with over 8,500 deliveries per year. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is one of the largest in the country, admitting over 1000 babies each year and has 44 cots, 14 of which are designated for intensive care. The NICU provides all modalities of neonatal care, including the care of surgical neonates. I also care for infants on the neonatal surgical ward at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. I have a particular interest in physiological monitoring, echocardiography and neonatal ventilation. In 2014, I was elevated to Fellow of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.
