Dr Alicia Demirjian, Consultant, Paediatric Infectious Diseases; Epidemiologist Evelina London Children’s Hospital; UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA)

I am a consultant in paediatric infectious diseases and immunology at Evelina London Children’s Hospital, Guy’s and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, where I am the lead for paediatric antimicrobial stewardship and deputy lead for infection prevention and control.

I am also a consultant epidemiologist in the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA)’s Healthcare-Associated Infection & Antimicrobial Resistance division . My interest is the appropriate use of antibiotics and other measures to slow the spread of antimicrobial resistance in the UK and globally.

I am currently on full-time secondment at UKHSA to support the national COVID-19 response.
