Susan Manfull, PhD crossed the pond to speak with Dr. Tim Ubhi, consultant paediatrician and fellow of the United Kingdom’s Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. Dr. Tim, as his patients call him, has dedicated his life to children’s health, beginning with conducting research on using botulinum toxin to help children with cerebral palsy, work for which he was awarded the prestigious Michael Blacow prize by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health to, currently, focusing on treating children with PANDAS, work that has earned him the deepest gratitude from his over 1200 patients and their families.
Dr. Ubhi is the founder of the newly established London PANS Clinic and of the Children’s e-hospital in 2013. He is also a founding member of the UK PANS/PANDAS Physicians Network and is also a member of the Scientific and Medical Advisory Board of the European Immunopsychiatry Association (EXPAND).
Dr Ubhi talks about what drew him to pediatrics and to PANDAS and PANS, in particular. The conversation veers into some interesting history underscoring how the slow speed with which medicine changes has affected the recognition and treatment of PANDAS and PANS. And yet, he has plowed forward and opened a clinic in London and has plans to train physicians in this field in the northeast of England, collaborate with practitioners outside of the UK, and conduct research using, for example, innovative techniques such pupillometry. And more -- Dr. Ubhi is clearly making extraordinary advances in the UK.
Highly respected in his chosen field in the UK and well beyond, he is in demand to speak at conferences, including by The Alex Manfull Fund Symposium on Neuroimmune Psychiatric Disorders where he will join the Clinical Panel to address questions from physicians and other practitioners about treating persons diagnosed with PANDAS and PANS to be held on November 2, 2024 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
