Omowunmi Akindolie is a Consultant in
Ambulatory Paediatrics at King’s College
Hospital in London. She is a graduate of the
University of Newcastle upon Tyne and has
been in her current role since 2009.

She has led on several significant service redesign projects shaping paediatric services at King’s to suit the needs of local children and their families. Recently, this has included a paediatric hospital at home service, a paediatric short stay unit and a consultant paediatrician
phone line for GPs.

Her additional areas of special interest include education and training, with a specific emphasis on educating GPs in paediatrics. This serves to bridge the gap between primary and secondary care and thereby optimise healthcare delivery for children and young people.
