Dr Deirdre Kelly is a consultant pediatric hepatologist at the
Liver Unit of Birmingham Children's Hospital and Reader in
Paediatric Hepatology at the University of Birmingham.

She was born and brought up in Calcutta, India, in the post-Raj
era while her father was working for Lipton's Tea. She spent her
early childhood in India and went to boarding school in Dublin when
she was 12 years old. She first decided to become a doctor at the
age of 8 and despite much opposition from family and nuns at her
convent school, persisted and went to Trinity College Dublin to
study medicine in 1967.

She originally planned to be a General Practitioner but in her
Senior House Officer days was encouraged to take an academic line
and apply for General Medicine rotations and take the membership
exams. She trained first in adult medicine, and then in
gastroenterology and hepatology in Dublin with Professor Donald
Weir who encouraged her to do an MD thesis on folate catabolism
with Professor John Scott, a world authority on folate
metabolism.

While in Dublin she had her two delightful sons while juggling
research/academic medicine/clinical practice and discovered the
joys of being a mother.

In 1982, she moved to London to work with Dame Sheila Sherlock
at the Royal Free Hospital, where she became interested in
pediatric hepatology. Dr Kelly retrained in pediatrics with
Professor Otto Wolff at Great Ormond Street and Professor John
Walker Smith at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Hackney.

In 1987 she went to work as an Assistant Professor in Pediatric
Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University of Nebraska in
Omaha US.

Dr Kelly used this time to learn about caring for children
undergoing liver transplantation. Equipped with these new skills
she returned to Birmingham in 1989 to set up a National Liver Unit
to care for children with liver disease and undergoing liver
transplantation.

The Unit has been very successful and is one of the
