Role within the CYP Alliance

I am the Clinical Lead for the CYP asthma transformation programme of the CYP Alliance. I am a Paediatrician and look after children with respiratory (breathing) problems.

Why does it matter?

I am passionate about the respiratory health of children and the Asthma programme provides an opportunity to make meaningful system wide changes to asthma care in our area.

My impact

I have worked with colleagues around the region and the CYP Alliance to raise awareness of good Asthma management among the professionals and public. We have recently launched the Asthma Friendly schools initiative.

Something a bit different…

I like going out for walks, reading fiction and watching cricket.

Where can you get help?

If you think your child is having trouble with communicating and talking to you, discuss your concerns with a professional such as a health visitor, GP, nursery/school teacher who can provide advice and consider whether they may require a referral to a speech and language therapist or GP.
