He authored many highly cited academic journal articles, and was an author and editor of several books including “A Clinical Guide to Sleep Disorders in Children and Adolescents” and “Sleep and its Disorders in Children and Adolescents with a Neurodevelopmental Disorder”, and wrote chapters in many more.Īfter retiring from clinical work, Greg continued to publish and was a Visiting Lecturer at Warwick Medical School and University College London’s Institute of Child Health. He also made national and international television and radio appearances and press contributions. He both organised and was invited to be a keynote speaker at conferences around the world due to his international reputation and significant contribution in the field.
Greg taught undergraduate and postgraduate groups in medicine and allied disciplines. He became Professor of Developmental Neuropsychiatry and Fellow of Linacre College at the University of Oxford in 1999 due to his extensive research and publications in epilepsy and sleep disorders. He was elected as Fellow of both the Royal College of Psychiatrists (1981) and the Royal College of Physicians (1983). This technique has become the worldwide standard for research and clinical investigation of epilepsy and sleep disorders in patients of all ages. One of his most significant contributions to the diagnosis of childhood epilepsy was his introduction of ambulatory EEG in real life settings. During this period his research grant total was in the region of £1m principally in support of studies in children’s sleep disorders. Greg completed a Visiting Fellowship at Yale University Department of Neurology in 1974, and became a Consultant in 1976, working at the Park Hospital in Headington in both sleep disorder and epilepsy services for patients of all ages referred from throughout the United Kingdom, and was Director for the Oxford Regional Paediatric EEG Service. After graduating in 1967 he worked in various hospitals across the North of England before moving to Oxford. He not only excelled in his studies but also had a passion for athletics, competing in throwing events including the hammer up to County, Northern Counties and British Universities representative levels. His first degree was in Psychology, after which he went on to study Medicine at the University of Manchester.
