I have worked in children's services at Guy's and St Thomas' since 1997 which includes most of my training in children's intensive care medicine. 

I was appointed as the first Evelina London Medical Director in April 2014. My job, along with the Director of Nursing for children, is to provide an oversight of the care given to women and children in this very large Trust and that the voices of staff, patients and their families are heard.

The best thing about working at Evelina London...

The range of what we do - from immunisation at one end to incredibly specialist and rare services at the other - and the fact that it's all important.

Our staff also have a real appetite for trying to do as good a job as possible and to learn from when things aren't perfect.
