Dr Sara Watkin

Dr Sara Watkin Dr Watkin is a highly experienced, tertiary specialist paediatrician & neonatologist in Grand Cayman

Specialist Paediatrician & Neonatologist
Paediatrics & Newborn Care at Grand Pavilion on West Bay Road

First and foremost I am a baby doctor, having spent many years as Chief of Service of one of the UK's foremost tertiary NICUs in University College London Hospitals. Obviously that has given me an exceptional level of experience in delivery room, immediate care (including emergency care and resu

scitation) of newborns, both as preterms from 23+ weeks and in term babies with complications (around 10% of births have complications). I am also a very busy general paediatrician and have a practice that stretches from 0 to 18 years, covering both routine and more complex paediatrics.
