CURRENT POSITION

Past Responsibilities
Head of Clinical and Academic Department of Ophthalmology
Fellowship Director And Unit Training Director
We have four fellows and one junior resident. Two fellows work with me at any one
given time. One of these fellows is split between GOSH and King’s College Hospital,
London.
Royal College of Ophthalmologists Tutor
NSCAG Ophthalmologist
The National Specialist Commissioning Advisory Group (NSCAG) aims to help patients
by improving access to uncommon services, whilst at the same time seeking to sustain
high levels of expertise by preventing proliferation to too many centres.
In addition to my normal workload, I am funded by NSCAG to deliver Ophthalmic care
and service strategies to all patients at Great Ormond St Hospital for Children with:
1
Craniofacial Anomalies
2
Epidermolysis Bullosa
Service Developments
Since commencing my post in January 1999 I have introduced eleven main service
developments
1
Penetrating and lamellar keratoplasty service for appropriate neonates , infants
and children
2
Ultrasound service : high frequency ultrasound, posterior segment ultrasound
and biometry for intraocular implant calculations
3
Management protocol for periocular haemangiomas

Management protocol for Visual function surveillance in Craniosynostoses
As a result of demonstrating to the National Specialist Commissioning Advisory
Group (NSCAG) the effect of this new management protocol, we received a
centrally funded grant of 47000 sterling pounds on a recurrent annual basis in
June 2002.
Botulinum Toxin for paediatric strabismus
Ophthalmic Surveillance for children with Epidermolysis Bullosa As a result
of demonstrating improved quality of life with decreased corneal erosions
NSCAG provided 2 Consultant Sessions of funding for this service starting April
2004
Eyemovement service: in 2009 I recruited a doctor to set this service up.IN
2010 clinics were set up to provide this service
In 2009 a clinical nurse specialist post was developed to allow nurse led clerking
of admissions and hence reduced dependency on inexperienced junior doctors
In 2009 A joint paediaric neuroophthalmology post was created between
GOSH and Whipps Cross hospitals and a candidate successfully appointed
In 2010 a second anterior segment surgeon post was created and a successful
candidate appointed full time at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children
In 2009 the ‘low vision aid service’ was developed with Lynne Speedwell and a
candidate successfully appointed to run this service
Although my two colleagues did treat paediatric glaucoma before my arrival, this has
been part of my responsibilities since my arrival. I have introduced releasable sutures
for paediatric trabeculectomy, Ahmed tube implant (which I learned about while fellow
at HSC, Toronto) and high frequency ultrasound guidance for cycloablation.
I have gained 7 Clinical Excellence Awards because of my contribution to the National
Health Service both at Local And National Levels

TEACHING
My role as fellowship director allows me to teach both resident level and fellow level
doctors. There is a fellowship education program which involves orthoptics,
electrophysiology and my colleagues. There are fellows’ nights for informal discussion
about one subject, regular journal clubs and Socratic style teaching seminars with weekly
grand rounds.
Teaching is also done for paediatricians and for nursing staff
ORBIS
I have been privileged to be involved with ORBIS since December 2003
I found teaching the local faculty extremely challenging and very satisfying. I am
committed to the vision of Dr Helveston as regards telemedicine and its use as an
educator.

OTHER INTERESTS
I enjoy live music immensely and golf has superceded squash as my favourite sport.
Although I do not speak any African languages I have developed a great enthusiasm for
African music especially from Mali, Senegal, the Ivory Coast and South Africa. I also
enjoy a game of Charom (oriental game similar to billiards but played with discs on a
specially constructed board).
