Clinical expertise

Alongside my specialist work in gastroenterology and allergy, I regularly assess and manage a wide range of paediatric conditions across all age groups.

This includes respiratory illnesses, neurological concerns, newborn care, growth and endocrine issues, and common skin conditions such as eczema and urticaria.

Many families seek my input for:

• Persistent or recurring symptoms
• Diagnostic uncertainty
• A second opinion
• A clear, structured management plan

I am the Paediatric Gastroenterology Lead at Broomfield Hospital. Throughout my career, I have been recognised with multiple awards for academic and clinical excellence, including the prestigious Young Investigator Award from the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN).

I am actively involved in:

• Teaching and training paediatric doctors
• Clinical research and guideline development
• National and regional paediatric advisory groups

I am also a certified newborn resuscitation instructor, committed to maintaining the highest standards of care.

Approach to care

I believe that good paediatric care is not only about diagnosis, but also about helping families understand what is happening and what to do next.

My consultations focus on:

• Thorough assessment
• Clear explanations in simple language
• Practical, evidence-based treatment plans
• Reassurance and continuity of care

I have featured across a range of national and international media outlets, providing expert commentary on children’s health, allergy, gastroenterology and general paediatrics.
