Jonathan qualified from Oxford and then King’s College in 1990. He trained as a Paediatrician in London in the 1990s before specialising in Paediatric Intensive Care and retrieveal medicine in Sydney.

After completing training he was appointed as Senior Lecturer in Paediatrics and Consultant in Paediatric Intensive Care at St George’s in 2002. He developed the innovative (at the time) paediatric course for the GEP programme, which was later adopted across the curriculum. He was appointed as lead for knowledge assessments (later YSKT) at St George's, developing and running this examination stream for five years.

He was promoted to become a Reader in Clinical Education in 2011, and took over the whole paediatric curriculum oversight. Now he also is responsible for redesign of the patient safety curriculum. In 2021 he was appointed Professor of Practice - Clinical Education.

He has developed several leadership roles for St George's NHS FT. He was the Paediatric Care Group Lead from 2008-2012, and then was promoted to Children’s Clinical Director from 2012-2015. As his interests and expertise are skewed towards education, he was appointed at Director of Medical Education for the trust in 2015. In 2019 he was appointed to be the Head of the London School of Paediatrics coordinating the training of 1500 paediatricians in the capital.

His research has been in Medical Education, Paediatric Intensive Care, Patient Safety and Professional Development.

Although without allocated research time, his academic approach has led to documentation and publication of articles concerning the clinical problems, educational approaches and innovations that are the core of his practice. He takes pride in mentoring others to develop their ideas and to publish, and this is reflected in the high number of student first authors in his collaborations.

This is a grouped list of his publications by topic:

Paediatric Intensive Care

London School of Paediatrics

I am skilled teacher and continue a substantial practise in all common teaching formats including tutorials, seminars, workshops, lectures (see teaching activities below) and also host large events. I teach on a wide range of topics within Paediatrics and child health, and also intensive care, management, leadership, patient safety and professionalism. I teach skills, both practical (e.g. echocardiography) and intellectual (virtual patient creation, question writing).

I incorporate feedback, allowing development of session and style, but also documenting excellence. For instance my cardiology lecture (P year Paediatrics) is consistently the top rated lecture in the course.

Innovation

Educators still have much to learn themselves on how to deliver the ideal session. I have developed my own practises to explore new delivery methods better fitting the subject and purpose of the session. Novel teaching and learning techniques I have developed include:

• “Live” dry-wipe board explorations of Tricky Paediatric problems.
• Using a “Virtual Ward Round” to explore evolving ward scenarios for students.
• Branched Virtual Patients for risk free practise in decision making, in assessment, in PBL and medical error learning.
• Using SMS messaging to support interaction in large group sessions.
• Nested SBA scenarios to examine decision making in the context of an evolving patient scenario.
• Play-dough based learning supporting training in echocardiography.
• Using Bingo to teach medical error identification.
• Website based video resources for the London Deanery

It is fair to say that not all these approaches have succeeded – for instance the virtual ward round proved too complex for facilitators and play-dough too messy, but those that have worked have been very effective, based on feedback, and have been disseminated, copied and incorporated into other teaching programmes. The “live” Tricky Paediatrics sessions won a London-wide prize and are now in use in other Trusts. Bingo is also used in other centres and the virtual patient approach is now widely used in many centres in the UK, Europe and Asia. The video website is spectacularly well used – with over 4million individual views to date.
