From 1994-2021 I was a member of the PID group at Imperial College London, and PENTA (Paediatric European Network for Treatment of AIDS), involved in international Phase II and III trials relating to paediatric blood-borne virus infections. I was the founding Chair of CHIVA (Children’s HIV Association of the UK and Ireland). 2019: Paediatric ID expert, WHO mission to NW Sindh province, Pakistan, investigating a cohort of >1,500 recently HIV infected children. Subsequently led a UNICEF-sponsored training mission to NW Sindh in 2019, and a national workshop (remote training) in 2020.
