Consultant Paediatrician in paediatric endocrinology, general paediatrician, growth and development, late effects of childhood cancer, neuro-endocrinology of brain tumour injury and tumours.

I have pioneered the first UK ‘niche’ service for the neuroendocrine surveillance and neurorehabilitation of survivors of childhood brain and other tumours established in 1999.

I am currently the CEO of Success Life After Cure Ltd, a charity I founded to support survivors of childhood brain tumours.

My interests in paediatric endocrinology are particularly geared to abnormalities of growth and development, hormone excess and deficiency, especially as they pertain to children with malignancy, particularly brain tumours.

I have published original research and review articles in peer-reviewed literature and given original papers and invited state of the art lectures at national and international conferences on the topics of hormone secretion, growth, pubertal and fertility status after cancer therapies.

Areas include:

Paediatric endocrinology, paediatric pituitary tumours and neuroendocrine and late effects of childhood malignancy, adolescence to 21 yrs, growth, reproduction and development and its psychological and ethical implications, Turner’s syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, short stature.
