About Me – Specialist Neonatologist and Paediatrician
I moved to the Cayman Islands in early 2022, to join three amazing colleagues out of Grand Pavilion on West Bay Road. My privileges include full admitting rights to the neonatal unit and paediatric wards at George Town Hospital (HSA). I also have admitting rights at Doctors Hospital. Prior to Cayman, I moved from London, where I was Consultant Neonatologist at the World-renowned Evelina Children’s Hospital, part of the equally renowned Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, one of the UK’s largest and most prestigious hospital groups.
I am proud to have trained at the world-renowned Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital in London, where I acquired the knowledge and skills to treat complex problems, especially around immunology and infectious diseases. This experience was complemented by further general paediatric experiences in two London University hospitals.
Having worked in London throughout the pandemic I also saw first-hand how families struggled with the impact of isolating, missing school and repeated testing. I shared these challenges within my own family and am aware how much of a psychological impact this pandemic has had on our children. I am passionate about ensuring the wellbeing of children which means also attending to their emotional and mental health needs, as well as physical health. Recognising the impact of this pandemic on the mental health of our children is important and something that I am committed to supporting as a specialist neonatologist and paediatrician in Cayman.
