Professor Simon Bailey is a Consultant in Paediatric Oncology at the Great North Childrens Hospital, and an Honorary Professor of Paediatric Neuro-Oncology at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. He specialises in brain tumours. Professor Rod Skinner is a semi-retired paediatric and adolescent haemato-oncologist. He is the clinical lead for long-term follow-up of childhood and adolescent cancer and leukaemia. Prior to semi-retirement, Professor Skinner was also clinical lead of the Paediatric Haematology Bone Marrow Transplant service and cared for children with acute leukaemia, aplastic anaemia and rare paediatric haematological malignancies. Professor Skinner's clinical interests include long-term follow-up of individuals previously treated for childhood cancer or leukaemia, those who had bone marrow / stem cell transplants during childhood or adolescence, and childhood cancer survivorship.
