Dr. Elliot is a pediatrician, educator and health communicator who has more than 20 years experience working and training in Medicine. As a hands-on parent himself, Dr. Elliot is committed to practical, useful health care and communication. Despite a lack of paid research time in his clinical role, Dr. Elliot helped create, and currently leads, the SUCCEED Child Feeding Research Alliance. Started in 2017, this is the only collaboration of researchers, clinicians and parents in Australia that solely focuses on children who have complex feeding difficulties. The SUCCEED Alliance has received multiple competitive research grants, received national news coverage and has grown to include 12 clinical centres, three universities and dozens of families with research output that has a national impact. It has used innovative research methods and storytelling to engage, understand and improve the lives of children whose primary medical conditions make it hard for them to safely eat and drink.
