Though time has passed since the #pandemic, we must never forget the profound impact it had on many children, especially those with Down’s syndrome. It's essential that they are not overlooked & continue to receive the support, care & opportunities they deserve. #EdResearch #SEN.

📣Excited to be heading back to @NHSNotts to resume clinical work where I trained & my Alma Mater. I'll still be a Prof @UCLchildhealth, pushing forward #childhealth research, but now with reach at a new location beyond London. Grateful to @WhitHealth for 13 incredible years.

As the heat rises next week, let’s remember: not everyone has A/C, a fan or fridge. Children & other vulnerable groups are especially affected by extreme heat. So when we grab a cold drink or ice cream, let’s also think of those facing the heat without relief—& how we can help.
