Consultant Paediatric Neurologist
In September 2018 I joined the Paediatric Neuromuscular Service in Leeds as a research/clinical fellow in Paediatric Neuromuscular Disorders and became a consultant in February 2020.
Within the Neuromuscular Team, I provide clinical care to the children and young people with neuromuscular conditions in our region. I work collaboratively with the national networks (including Northstar and SMA REACH), organisations and patient support groups to ensure our patients receive high quality care in line with the recommended standards of care. I regularly contribute to national registries and support the delivery of novel therapies in our service, including nusinersen.
Since I joined the Neuromuscular team I have been actively involved in numerous research projects and trials in DMD and spinal muscular atrophy as a principal investigator (PI) and sub-investigator (SI), contributing to all aspects of trial delivery from set-up to recruitment and delivery of protocol-specific activity.
