Professor Will Carroll

I am an industrious and inspirational leader, teacher and researcher. I have enjoyed and flourished in every role I have undertaken, and I have a breadth of senior leadership roles clinically, in research and education. I have really enjoyed my Officer for Research role with the RCPCH and this is due to finish in 2026. One of the great privileges of my time in various College roles has been the time I have spent with the RCPCH &Us group.

Dr Kulsoom Riaz

I am an experienced consultant paediatrician with broad expertise in acute and general paediatrics, clinical leadership, and service development. A Fellow of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health with over 12 years of continuous membership, I am committed to professional advocacy, collaborative working and improving outcomes for infants, children and young people.
