FAQ
I am Dr Doug Jenkinson, a family doctor in England who has studied whooping cough in the general population for 30 years. I qualified at Liverpool Medical School in 1967. I worked in hospitals in England and Zambia until 1974 when I joined a General Medical Practice in Nottingham. I was a lecturer in General Practice at Nottingham Medical School 1979-94 and I was awarded a doctorate for my work on whooping cough by the University of Nottingham in 1996. I have researched and written extensively on this subject and others in medical journals and books. I now concentrate on my family practice where I have worked since 1974 and still continue to study whooping cough. In my practice I have personally studied over 700 cases of whooping cough, and my special expertise is in the clinical diagnosis of this condition which most doctors have difficulty diagnosing.
