Gillian Kennedy MSc

Gillian Kennedy is Consultant Speech and Language Therapist for Neonates /Paediatrics at UCLH and is one of two NIDCAP Trainers in the UK. She undertook her undergraduate training in Edinburgh and developed a particular interest in swallowing, leading to her studying for an MSc at City University.

Following several years working with adults in both neurological and neuro-surgical settings, she brought many of the skills and knowledge gained in this clinical area to her work with preterm infants and high risk neonates and young children with neurological involvement. Over the past 25 years she has worked exclusively with premature infants and high risk neonates and their families.
