Hilary Dawn Cass Шаблон:Post-nominals is a British medical doctor and a consultant in paediatric disability at St Thomas' Hospital, London.[1] She was the President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health from 2012 to 2015.[2]

Early life

Cass was educated at the City of London School for Girls.[1] She studied at the Royal Free hospital medical school, graduating with a degree in medicine.[1]

Career

From 1994 to 2009 Cass was a consultant in paediatric disability at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).[1] She left after raising concerns about patient safety at the hospital.[3]

In September 2020, she accepted an appointment to lead the independent Cass Review for the NHS into gender identity services for children and young people.[4]

The interim report of the Cass Review was published in March 2022. It said that the rise in referrals had led to the staff being overwhelmed, and recommended the creation of a network of regional hubs to provide care and support to young people. The report noted that the clinical approach used by Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) "has not been subjected to some of the usual control measures" typically applied with new treatments, and raised concerns about the lack of data collection by GIDS.[5][6]

Honours and awards

She accepted an OBE in 2015 for services to child health.[7] The Royal College of Nursing awarded her an honorary fellowship in 2015.[8]
