Linda is a consultant cleft and plastic surgeon and her training has seen her travel far and wide – from Bristol to Newcastle, Wales to Rotterdam, Great Ormond Street to Birmingham Children’s Hospital and beyond.
She has a particular interest in primary cleft surgery, the management of patients with Pierre Robin Sequence and all aspects of paediatric plastic surgery. She leads the cleft lip and palate Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) at Addenbrooke’s, and will do so at the new Cambridge Children’s Hospital. Linda is also the lead trainer in cleft lip and palate/paediatric plastic surgery for junior plastic surgeons.
Linda used to relax by training with the Territorial Army and skydiving, but these days her three children keep her too busy for this! She attempts to keep fit by running, to offset the baking she also does.
