Biography

Charlotte Wright is a paediatrician and an epidemiologist with a longstanding interest in paediatric nutrition. She worked until 2022 in clinical and public health nutrition at the Glasgow Royal Hospital for Children and still researches and teaches within the Human Nutrition department at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.

She qualified as a doctor at Oxford university and obtained her doctorate from Newcastle University, as well as an MSc in Epidemiology from the London School Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

Working at the University of Newcastle she set up the Gateshead Millennium cohort study in 1999 which as now tracked a thousand children from birth to adulthood.

After moving to Glasgow, between 2009-12 she led the team that redesigned UK growth charts to incorporate the WHO international growth standards as well as a wide range of novel design elements and these charts are now in use all over the UK and elsewhere.

Since 2005 she has been involved in a twinning programme between the Glasgow children’s hospital and the Lahore Children’s Hospital and University of Child Health in Pakistan and is an Honorary Visiting Professor there.

She is a member of the UK Scientific Advisory Committee for Nutrition (SACN) and Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.
