I’m a Consultant Paediatrician at Leeds Children’s Hospital, one of the largest and busiest children’s hospitals in the UK, caring for over 50,000 children every year. I also serve as the Clinical Lead for the General Paediatric Department. With over 26 years of experience in general paediatrics, I have had the privilege of helping children and families navigate a wide range of health challenges, and this work remains something I’m truly passionate about.

My medical journey began in India, where I completed my primary medical qualification before going on to undertake postgraduate studies in paediatrics at one of India’s busiest children’s hospitals. I then continued my training in the UK, gaining experience at some of the country’s leading children’s hospitals, including those in Birmingham and Leeds. My qualifications include MBBS, MD Paediatrics, FRCPCH, and an MSc in Child Health, and I’m proud to be a Fellow of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.

Since becoming a Consultant in Leeds, I have developed extensive skills in managing all kinds of childhood illnesses. These include asthma and recurrent wheeze, chest infections, heart murmurs, tummy pain, constipation and diarrhoea, headaches, neurological problems, reflux, cow’s milk allergy, growth and nutrition issues, newborn problems, and much more. I also have a special interest in kidney conditions in children — such as recurrent urine infections, bedwetting, urinary frequency and urgency.
