She has developed a broad expertise in the care of endocrine disorders in children. These include those of growth, puberty or body hair, thyroid, vitamin D and bones, obesity, diabetes, pituitary and adrenal glands, and the ovaries or testicles. Dr Hewitt has authored a large number of medical and scientific journal articles as well as treatment guidelines for a range of endocrine conditions, including thyroid, pituitary and adrenal disorders, diabetes, disorders of sex development such as Turner Syndrome/Klinefelter Syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and gender identity dysphoria.
