At the same time, Dr Giles has an appointment as a Consultant Paediatric Gastroenterologist at the Monash Children’s Hospital of the Monash Health network, where he is lead for paediatric IBD and has established a specific clinic for young adult patients with inflammatory bowel diseases in close collaboration with Dr Greg Moore, head of adult IBD at Monash Health.
