Dr Shami Jayasooriya

I am an academic general practitioner and currently hold an NIHR Clinical Lecturer position at the University of Sheffield. I have lived in and worked in The Gambia, both during my PhD at MRC The Gambia at LSHTM and the University of Birmingham, and more recently on TB Sequel, a study exploring lung impairment post TB infection. I currently hold a WHO consultancy role working on growing the Global Alliance Against Respiratory Diseases community on the WHO Knowledge Action Portal. Recently, I led a Delphi process on the clinical standards for asthma management in low- and middle-income countries.
