Dr Pippa Birkin, clinical director of KidsPoint, was born and educated in the UK, receiving her medical degree from the University of Birmingham in 1998. She has been a proud member of the Australian workforce since 2003, and has primarily been based on the Central Coast. She has also worked in various other hospitals in NSW as a paediatric trainee which include John Hunter Children’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital Westmead, Royal North Shore Hospital, Taree Base and Maitland. She also completed a year in developmental and behavioural paediatrics as a community fellow at Wallsend, Newcastle and six months as a doctor for NETS (Newborn and Paediatric Emergency Transport Service) in Sydney, transferring critically unwell infants around the state by air and road. Pippa gained her paediatric fellowship in 2018. Her inspiration to work in a larger multidisciplinary team has been instrumental in bringing about the realisation of Kidspoint. Pippa believes in having a holistic approach to patient care, being both child and family centred when planning patient’s care. She prioritises keeping her practice evidence based yet practical for families and children.
