Professional profile/background:   I am Clinical Lead for Endocrinology with clinical specialist interests in neuroendocrinology, endocrine genetic syndromes, endocrine late effects of childhood cancer, antenatal endocrinology and endocrinology in a critical care setting. I chair the regional UHBristol Neuroendocrine MDT. In addition, I have University of Bristol funded academic sessions and have secured both funding and ethical approval for my initial programme of research to study the HPA axis in various critical illness scenarios. I am grateful to the David Telling Charitable Trust, Above & Beyond Charities and the Society for Endocrinology (Early Career Grant) for their financial support. I am also a successful co-applicant on a three year MRC grant (PI Professor Stafford Lightman) to deliver research studies in patients with Addison's disease and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. I contribute to the specialty at a national level through a variety of roles including being a PACES examiner, being an elected member of the Editorial Board of Clinical Endocrinology, being the elected Media Representative of the Public Engagement Committee of the Society for Endocrinology and since 2010 co-organising two very successful annual regional endocrine meetings - the SW Endocrine Symposium and the BBCO (Bristol, Birmingham, Cardiff and Oxford) Neuroendocrine Meeting.
