PANDAS

Dr Tim Ubhi and The Children's e-Hospital have been at the frontline of promoting PANDAS as a recognised condition that affects children in the UK and across the world.

 Dr Tim Ubhi is a UK NHS paediatric consultant, a member of scientific and medical advisory board of the European Neuro-Immunopsychiatric association and a member of the UK PANS PANDAS Physicians Network. He has seen over eight hundred patients with suspected PANDAS and was pivotal in setting up the UK PANS/PANDAS Physicians Network in 2017 which published the first UK treatment guidelines for PANDAS and which had contributions form doctors from Alder Hey Children's Hospital, The Evelina Children's Hospital and Birmingham Children's Hospital as well as The Children's e-Hospital. A recent audit (2022) of 109 patients treated by The Children's e-Hospital showed that 9 out of 10 patients showed a good, very good or excellent response to our treatment protocols.

We understand that there is currently much debate about PANDAS as a diagnosis in the UK but we are also aware that without treatment there are children who are suffering and therefore we will try our very best to ensure that your child receives the best possible treatment or that we at the very least signpost you to the right services
