Dr Bijan Shahrad

I am a paediatric consultant working in one of the busiest paediatric departments in London. I have developed an excellent knowledge of general paediatrics, including developmental concerns, headaches, recurrent infections, poor growth, milk allergies and many other issues.

I am the lead for gastroenterology at the North Middlesex Hospital, with an honorary consultant post at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). I specialise in constipation, acid reflux, coeliac disease and other gastroenterological issues. I have built a close working relationship with the GOSH team should any further invasive investigations need organising.

As one of the respiratory leads I manage children with asthma, chronic cough and recurrent chest infections, among other issues.

My love for paediatrics grew during my elective work into respiratory illness in the Solomon Islands as a medical student. I spent a year of my junior paediatric training in Sydney working at the renowned Westmead Children’s Hospital.

Obtaining my Royal College of paediatrics membership in 2014, I trained at respected centres including the Royal Brompton, The Royal London Hospital, University College London, and Chelsea and Westminster.

Known for my excellent bedside manner and empathetic nature, I apply a holistic approach to my practice and have been recognised in local and national awards for my work with children.
