We are looking forward to working with you on SurfON!
Here is what they had to say after joining the team:
I am a neonatal grid trainee in the East of England deanery, currently at Luton & Dunstable NICU. Since 2015, I have been involved in clinical research primarily based around neonatal brain injury and early child disability outcomes in low-and-middle- income countries. I will be commencing an MRC-funded PhD this year in the field of global neonatal encephalopathy with LSHTM (London) and MRC/UVRI Uganda. Through this Associate PI opportunity I look forward to enhancing my clinical research experience in a UK setting, and contributing important data to improving outcomes for our patients.
My name is Pri Madawala, I have qualified in medicine, completed postgraduate training in paediatrics and practiced as acting consultant neonatologist in Sri Lanka before move in to UK. Currently I am working as a speciality doctor in neonatal intensive care unit at Birmingham Heartland Hospital, University Hospital Birmingham NHS foundation trust.
I have particular interest in neonatal medicine and I am passionate about delivering the best care for the infant and their families.
Always I will put myself further challenge, which will drive me to gather further learning and experience.
I hope, as Associated PI for the SurfON study at UHB will give me exciting opportunities to share my enthusiasm with my colleagues and gain more experience on research.
NIHR Associate PI scheme is now open to any Allied Health Professional interested in making a significant contribution to the conduct & delivery of SurfON.
