Nashwa brings 25 years of experience as a neonatologist with a special focus on child development and neurodisability. For the past 20 years she’s been following the development of children born preterm in Glasgow particularly those with complex health needs.

Her work establishing a neurodevelopmental clinic for children with severe congenital heart disease shows exactly the kind of innovative thinking and compassionate care our community needs. Nashwa has even contributed to national guidelines and teaches on infant mental health programmes at the University of Glasgow.

Her deep understanding of how families navigate complex health journeys will be invaluable as we continue to improve health outcomes for people with Down’s syndrome.
