Dr Cath Harrison
I am a neonatologist and transport consultant based in Yorkshire, with training in the UK, South Africa and Australia.
I have been a consultant neonatologist at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust since 2004 and am also the Clinical lead for Embrace, Yorkshire and Humber Infant and Children’s transport service. I also chair the UK Neonatal Transport Group.
My areas of interest are transport, global health, newborn resuscitation and ventilation and am passionate about training and educational opportunities in neonatology. I was the Royal College of Paediatrics Speciality Advisory Committee chair for neonatology for 7 years and am now their training advisor, overseeing higher specialist neonatal training in the UK working closely with the General Medical Council.
I have worked over the last 25 years in LMIC ( Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda) on sustainable education and training projects to improve newborn care.
