William Whitehouse, M.D., is an Honorary Clinical Associate Professor of the School of Medicine at the University of Nottingham, England, and a recently retired Consultant Paediatric Neurologist at Nottingham Children’s Hospital, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, one of England’s largest acute teaching trusts. His main clinical and research interests include A-T in children and young people, as well as epilepsies, headache, and transient loss of consciousness in children. Dr. Whitehouse’s interest in A-T began with his clinical academic post at Nottingham Children’s Hospital and the re-launching the U.K.’s national A-T Clinic there in 2001. This afforded him ample opportunity to work with children and young people with A-T and their families. It also allowed him to develop a clinical research interest in A-T, collaborating with clinical, MRI, therapy, laboratory, and pharma colleagues, as well as advocacy organizations. Although now retired from clinical medicine, Dr. Whitehouse remains active in teaching and research, including supervising a Ph.D. on the natural history of A-T within the School of Medicine at the University of Nottingham. Dr. Whitehouse received a B.Sc. and M.B. B.S. from the London Hospital Medical College, University of London, completed residencies in pediatrics, neurology, and pediatric neurology in London, Manchester, and Birmingham, and completed a fellowship at the University of Oxford and University College London.
