    Tim Ubhi

    Consultant Paediatrician and Clinical Director & Founder , The Children’s e-Hospital and The London PANS Clinic

    I am a Consultant Paediatrician and also Clinical Director & Founder of The Children’s e-Hospital and The London PANS Clinic. I have a specialist interest in Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus (PANDAS) and Paediatric Acute onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS). I have treated more than 1400 PANDAS patients in the UK, one of the largest single cohort of patients in Europe. I spent the early part of my career as a Lecturer in Paediatrics & Child Health. In my early years after qualification I was part of a team that studied the use of Botulinum Toxin to help children with cerebral palsy walk. This led to the first NHS clinic for botulinum toxin therapy (for children with cerebral palsy) in the United Kingdom. For this piece of work, I was awarded the Michael Blacow Memorial Prize by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. Following this I was awarded a Medical Research Council Clinical Training Fellowship Award and spent 3 years in molecular research. I graduated from the Nye Bevan NHS Leadership Academy Executive Training Programme in 2016. It was around the same time that I realised that the NHS needed to develop new ways of working if it was to survive.I set up The Children’s e-Hospital in 2015 and this has gone from strength to strength. We were the world’s first online child health service and our patient satisfaction rates are through the roof. We have been rated "Outstanding" by The CQC. Over the past 12 years I have developed The Children’s e-Hospital PANDAS service. I am a founder member of The UK PANDAS & PANS Physician’s Network and together with paediatric neurologists, paediatricians and immunologists from major centres around the UK (including the Evelina Children's Hospital, Alder Hey Children's Hospital and Birmingham Children's Hospital) we are working hard to raise awareness of PANDAS in the UK. I am a member of the Scientific & Medical Advisory group of The European Immunopsychiatric Association
