Consultant Neurodevelopmental Paediatrician
My undergraduate medical training was completed at the University of Cape Town and Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, where I qualified as a doctor in 1994. I worked in paediatrics at Red Cross Children’s Hospital and as a GP, in Cape Town, until coming to the UK in 1997. Since 1998, I have been working in paediatric training posts in several specialist hospitals in London and the South East. I completed my specialist training as an acute general paediatrician with an interest in allergy in 2012, since when I have been working as an NHS consultant paediatrician.
I have a special interest in paediatric allergy and was the paediatric allergy lead for East Sussex. I am a member of the Surrey and Sussex Paediatric Allergy Group Network.
I worked as a neurodevelopmental paediatrician in the NHS since 2013, seeing children for developmental and autism assessments. I have had specialist training in undertaking developmental assessments and assessments of children for autism spectrum disorders (including ADI and ADOS). I have knowledge and interest in ADHD, including training through the George Still Forum ADHD Masterclass workshops.
I have been working as a neurodevelopmental paediatrician at the Starjumpz Children’s Centre since February 2019, undertaking paediatric neurodevelopmental assessments, particulary for Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. I have been doing follow up clinics through Starjumpz for ADHD medication since 2020.
I am a member of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH).
