He had previously worked as a research fellow in neonatal medicine at Oxford after early training in London. He was appointed Consultant in Neonatal Medicine at Oxford Street hospital and Fazakerley Hospital in 1985 and senior lecturer at the University of Liverpool. He became a Professor in 1998. He is Honorary Fellowship of Royal College of Anaesthetists and Head of the Postgraduate School of Paediatrics. He is also Chair of the Scientific Programme Committee in the European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR). His main research interests focus on neonatology, tissue oxygenation, and prevention and treatment of acquired brain damage.
