Alex Philpott

Head of School

Roles: Head of School, Neonatal Clinical Lead for KIDSNTS, Consultant Neonatologist


Base Hospital: Birmingham Women's Hospital (BWC)


Role as Head of School: Different every day. It's the most fun role I've ever had as I never know what I'm going to be asked next. And when I start to think I know the answers - something else comes up. And I get to work with a fabulous team - both TPDs ,NHS England and PGDiTs


Support: My role is to ensure that the our PGDiTs get the right support, both clinical and pastoral - and anything else. .I also aim to support College Tutors, Supervisors and TPDs.


Refill Bucket: A PT session, a tennis lesson or a long run. Top Netflix Pick: The Gilmore Girls. I re-watch every few years. If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend it.


Top Holiday Pick: Jersey. I spent many years scuba diving and stopped when I had children. I managed to convince my 10 and 11 year old and my husband to do a diving course and we spent many happy hours exploring the waters around Jersey. And as it was a heatwave we weren't cold.
