Medical Training
I am a British trained, GMC-registered consultant clinical radiologist with subspecialty interest in children’s imaging (i.e. paediatric radiology).
I graduated from medical school in 2008, and started my radiology training in 2010 at St. George’s Hospital, London. After completing general radiology training, I embarked upon subspecialty paediatric ‘body’ imaging fellowships at two world renowned children’s hospitals – namely Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, UK (2014-15) and The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada (2015-16).

Research
I then embarked upon a postgraduate PhD research degree funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR), based at the Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, University College London (UCL). My PhD thesis was entitled ‘Novel Applications and Refinements of Ultrasound Techniques in Perinatal and Infant Death Investigation’. The work was successfully defended in November 2020.
During my doctoral studies, I gained valuable experience in reporting paediatric post-mortem radiography, MRI and CT for perinatal losses, coronial and forensic cases. I developed the ‘INcision-less TArgeted Core Tissue’ (INTACT) ultrasound guided biopsy technique for perinatal organ sampling at autopsy, and also helped to run the UK’s first clinical post-mortem micro-CT imaging facility.
To understand more about paediatric post-mortem imaging, I have created a website with useful resources to help other healthcare professionals get started.
Current
I am currently an academic paediatric radiology consultant based at Great Ormond Street Hospital, London with an honorary radiology consultant position at St. George’s Hospital, London.
I am funded by an NIHR Advanced Fellowship award and currently researching ways in which artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to help radiologists better diagnose diseases on children’s imaging.
I have recently published my views on this within the British Journal of Radiology and also in the Royal College of Radiologists Newsletter.
