About Professor Sutcliffe

Professor Alastair G Sutcliffe is a consultant paediatrician who has pioneered studies of children and their families conceived after treatments for infertility. Furthermore he is actively involved in trying to improve the health of children (and also women) through his research programme.

He has 30 years of experience in looking after children and sees children with any disorder, sometimes to give second opinions. Families need to have their concerns sympathetically listened to and their child treated accordingly.

Prof Sutcliffe is married to a Rheumatologist (website) and has three children. During his time in training he became interested in helping children through medical research. He is unusual in having two doctorates one awarded by UCL and the other by the Free University of Brussels. In addition to being a specialist in both neurodevelopmental and general paediatrics, he has an international name as the most expert paediatrician for IVF children. Prof Sutcliffe is also a visiting Professor at the University of New South Wales.
