Colin Morgan BMedSci, BM, BS, MRCP, FRCPCH, MD, PGCLTHE

Dr Colin Morgan began his longstanding interest in neonatal nutrition by studying neonatal long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid absorption in preterm and term infants. In 1999, he became Senior Lecturer in Neonatal Medicine at University College London (Royal Free Hospital) and moved to the Liverpool Women’s Hospital as Consultant Neonatologist in 2004. He is a regular contributor to educational packages explaining the scientific rationale for early enteral and parenteral nutritional strategies in term and preterm infants. He also has a particular interest in postgraduate medical education and advanced nursing practice.

He is currently Head of School (Paediatrics) for Health Education England North West. His current research interests focus on neonatal parenteral nutrition formulations and the impact of early neonatal nutrition on postnatal metabolic adaptation, brain growth and neurodevelopment outcome in very preterm infants. He is also actively involved in a number of projects improving the quality and safety of early nutritional interventions in neonatal clinical practice including the use of standardised parenteral nutrition and donor breast milk.
