Following her fellowship, Dr Malbon worked as an Attending Consultant in Adolescent Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital. In 2013, she took a position at Tribeca Pediatrics, where she developed and led a specialist adolescent service and served as President of the New York Chapter of the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine.
Katie returned to London in 2015 to take up her current post, where she has established new services in paediatric rheumatology, gynaecology, and adolescent medicine. She has been named Doctor for Safeguarding and is currently the Lead for Adolescents and Paediatric Mental Health.
She served as the Safeguarding Trustee for the Girls’ Day School Trust during the pandemic and currently advises on Luna, a health and wellbeing app for young people.
