Hello there, I'm a Paediatric Consultant certified in general Paediatrics, Infectious Diseases, Travel and Tropical Medicine. I trained in paediatrics in central London (Chelsea&Westminster, University College, Northwick Park, and Great Ormond Street Hospitals) before training in Travel Medicine at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, where I achieved the first fellowship concentrating on the needs of travelling pregnant women and children.

I have travelled extensively myself, and worked as a tropical paediatrician in the Kingdom of Lesotho, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and the Pacific Islands. I've designed courses for highly regarded UK institutions such as RCPCH and LSHTM and I lecture internationally on the topic of complex child and pregnancy Travel medicine.​ I have written well regarded book chapters on travel vaccinations, and I am currently the chair of the International Society of Travel Medicine childrens group.
