Clinical

The Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at St. George's is a 14 bed facility, caring for around 600 children a year. Our admissions are varied, with large numbers of Oncology patients, Neurosurgery and other surgical patients, in addition to general paediatric patients. Approximately 70% of our admissions are 'in house', coming from our Emergency Department (well known from Channel 4's 24 hours in A+E), wards and theatres. The PICU also cares for many children from South West London and the Royal Marsden Hospital and works with the South London Paediatric Network and the South Thames Retrieval Service

 

Medical Education

Jonathan leads the delivery of paediatric teaching at St. George's, both for the undergraduate and graduate courses, working alongside a brilliant and dedicated team. He also teaches in the Interprofessional Common Foundation course, the Global Health Course and on several nursing and paramedic courses.

His role as Head of the London School of Paediatrics oversees the programmes and progress of 1200 postgraduate trainees in Paediatrics and Paediatric subspecialities, again working with a superb team of dedicated Trainee Programme Directors. Further information can be found at the School website or the London Health Education England website.
