I graduated from Aberdeen University and worked initially in Scotland, then moved to the north-east of England to start paediatric training. I worked in Bishop Auckland and Newcastle hospitals, and after gaining membership, carried out six months of cystic fibrosis work. After this, I started registrar training and worked in Stockton, Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Durham.
I have been a consultant in Durham since March 2013 and work some resident on-call shifts, as well as more traditional consultant on-calls. I have out-patient clinics in Shotley Bridge Community Hospital and at the University Hospital of North Durham.
I am involved in setting up neonatal SIM training in the Trust and am the lead consultant for Durham CAMHS liaison.
