Specialist Paediatric Dietitian
Ashford and St Peter's NHS Trust
I have been working in the field of Paediatric Dietetics for 21years, starting my paediatric career at Birmingham Children’s Hospital in January 2000.
A few years later I relocated to Surrey to cover the Paediatric caseload in a district general hospital. Prior to commencing my current specialist role, I provided paediatric dietetic support to a general paediatric ward and neonatal care unit as well as supporting the general outpatients, diabetes and home enteral feeding services.
For the last 8 years, my role has been a more specialist one, responsible for providing a specialist service to the Allergy Team at Ashford and St Peter’s NHS Trust and to those infants on our Tier 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. This involves providing dietetic management to all infants and children with a multitude of allergies or those infants who are born prematurely. It also involves providing evidence-based education and training to the multidisciplinary team, developing and ensuring all
resources, guidelines and treatment pathways are updated as new evidence emerges, and regularly
auditing and developing/improving current working practice to improve outcomes and meet the
needs of the children and their families.
