Judy Wadsworth - Oxford

"Hello, my name is Judy Wadsworth and I am a Daisy Garland Ketogenic Dietitian at The John Radcliffe Children’s Hospital in Oxford. I have been a paediatric dietitian since 1982.

For the first half of my career I worked at Great Ormond Street Hospital where I first became involved in ketogenic diet therapy for children with difficult to control epilepsy. In those days the diet was far less palatable than it is today, but I saw some very positive outcomes.

Thanks to Daisy Garland funding we have been able to expand our service here in Oxford, allowing us to offer the ketogenic diet as a therapy for even more children with complex epilepsy thereby improving their, and their families’, quality of life."
