Charlotte Elder received her undergraduate medical degree from Imperial College, (University of London) UK in 1999 and, after initially training as a general practitioner, retrained in paediatrics and further specialised in paediatric endocrinology and diabetes. She moved from London to Sheffield in 2005 in pursuit of excellent paediatric endocrinology training combined with affordable housing and fabulous local countryside.
Dr Elder is a Consultant in Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes at Sheffield Children’s Hospital and a Senior Clinical Lecturer in the Department of Oncology and Metabolism at the University of Sheffield. She took up the post of Partner Governor in 2018. Her clinical commitments include clinics n general endocrinology, Paediatric and Adolescent Gynaecology, paediatric diabetes and Young Person’s diabetes. Her main research has focused on the development of a novel drug for the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency (failure of the adrenal glands to produce adequate levels of the stress hormone cortisol). Her clinical interests are adrenal insufficiency and paediatric and adolescent gynaecology.
Charlotte Elder’s main research has been in the development of a non-invasive Short Synacthen Test for adrenal insufficiency, with a novel formulation of Synacthen for nasal administration and the measurement of the glucocorticoid response in saliva samples. She has led a team over five pharmacokinetic studies in adults and children. There is a patent application filed for the novel formulation and both commercial and research arms to the current workstream.
