I am a general paediatrician and paediatric cardiologist and for the last 17 years, I have been exclusively dedicated to the field of paediatric cardiology with extensive experience in diagnosing and treating heart conditions in newborns, infants, children and adolescents. After completing medical school at the La Laguna University in Tenerife, Spain back in 2000, I pursued my training in General Paediatrics at the prestigious San Joan de Deu Hospital in Barcelona, Spain. 
 
My training in Paediatric Cardiology was completed at three different centres, the San Joan de Deu Hospital in Barcelona, Spain, the Sainte Justine Hospital in Montreal, Canada and the Leeds General Infirmary in Leeds, United Kingdom where I also specialised in cardiac catheter (“keyhole”) interventions and procedures for children’s and adults born with heart defects.

In am currently one of the senior consultant paediatric cardiologists and interventionist at the Leeds General Infirmary Congenital Heart Centre which provides advanced treatment, care and support for children all across Yorkshire and Humber with cardiac conditions. I am an associate professor for the University of Leeds. I also work at the Sheffield Children’s Hospital where I have a regular outpatient clinic providing support to the local team of cardiac specialised paediatricians, intensive care and neonatal units.
 
Having a teenage girl and young twin boys, I understand the anxiety and stress that comes with being a parent and needing prompt and specialised medical advice.  This has been the main reason to start a children’s cardiology service at the Spire Leeds Hospital, adding with my expertise to the hospital experienced team dedicated to caring for children.
