ProfileFor enquiries please contact - ClinMed-Operational@sheffield.Ac.Uk
I graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 1991 and undertook a period of postgraduate research in Dundee examining the effects of hypoxia, hypercapnia and vasoactive peptides on the pulmonary circulation in man. I completed my clinical training in Cambridge and Papworth and was appointed as the Director of the Sheffield Pulmonary Vascular Disease Unit, in 2001.
Our pulmonary hypertension unit is one of the largest in the world and assesses and manages all forms of adult pulmonary hypertension. With colleagues I am also involved in delivering integrated services for patients with pulmonary embolism, managing the respiratory complications of connective disease and assessing fitness for emerging therapies such as autologous haemopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Ziggy Nash Pays Tribute To 10-day-old Granddaughter
A bereaved grandad whose family went through "a heart-wrenching time" has paid tribute to his baby granddaughter who died aged 10 days old.
Violet-May was born with a serious heart condition known as hypoplastic left heart syndrome, and was also diagnosed with pulmonary valve dysplasia and mild pulmonary valve regurgitation.
She died in October 2021 after receiving end-of-life care at The Nook.
Her grandfather, Ziggy Nash, of Norwich, said it was a devastating time for his daughter, Baylee Nash, and her partner, Tom Pipe.
"Seeing Baylee go through something like that was absolutely heart-wrenching," he said.
"It was awful and horrendous.
"As her dad, I felt completely helpless. There was so little I could do, apart from being there and offering support to Baylee and Tom.
"The hardest thing was telling my two youngest children, who were then 10 and 11."
Since her death, Mr Nash, 37, has raised more than £2,000 for East Anglia's Children's Hospice alongside his family.
He is hoping to raise more money by taking part in the Boss Hog obstacle challenge in October. Visit http://bit.Ly/3ETY463 to donate.
