Clinical practice experience
Dr Pramod Nair is an experienced NHS Consultant Paediatrician with over two decades of clinical practice, delivering comprehensive general paediatric care across the full infancy-to-adolescence age spectrum. Graduating from Mumbai University in 1998, he completed rigorous postgraduate paediatric training in Mumbai, earning his DCH and FCPS degrees, before moving to the UK in 2004. He successfully passed the MRCPCH examination in 2008 following intensive higher specialty training through the Nottingham (East Midlands) Deanery. His foundational training provided broad rotational exposure across neonatal and paediatric intensive care, ECMO, paediatric cardiology, oncology, endocrinology, allergy, anaesthesia, and community paediatrics. This comprehensive clinical foundation now underpins his work as a well-rounded general paediatrician, enabling him to confidently assess, diagnose, and manage the full spectrum of childhood illness - from common acute and chronic conditions to complex multisystem presentations. Dr Nair currently serves as an NHS Consultant Paediatrician at Bedford Hospital and as an Honorary Consultant at Great Ormond Street Hospital. He also maintains a dedicated weekly private practice at the Saxon Clinic in Milton Keynes, where he provides accessible, family-centred paediatric care, coordinated investigations, and seamless multidisciplinary referrals within a supportive, child-friendly environment.
