GI PAEDIATRICIAN

As a Lead Consultant, I have developed and continue to oversee the growth of GI service at King's College Hospital and the Evelina Children's Hospital until 2015. I worked to expand the service with consultants, nurses, psychologists, registrars, pharmacists and dieticians. Approximately 5,000 children with gastro problems were seen every year under my leadership... I improved the networking in South East London and King's is the first centre to provide 24/7 bleeding rota for children. I was the first paediatrician to offer a RNY single balloon enteroscopy service in UK. I manage children with complex GI problems like intestinal failure, short gut syndrome, enteral and parenteral feeding, pancreatitis (acute and chronic), also GI problems after liver, pancreas and intestinal transplantation... I set up a national paediatric endoscopy training centre at King's (the second UK centre) and trained junior doctors and colleagues in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy. I am the director..
