Hello, my name is Dr Graham Jones, I am a Specialist Paediatrician, with over 20 years of experience in Paediatrics. I also hold a Masters Degree in Neonatology from Southampton University in the UK.

I graduated from WITS University as a Medical Doctor in 1997, and after working overseas, went on to complete my Specialist Paediatric Training, graduating from the College of Medicine South Africa in 2003. I then did Sub-specialist training in Paediatric Cardiology at the paediatric cardiology unit at the now Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital. I unfortunately had to leave this training early to care for a sick family member. This led to the world of Private Paediatrics, where I consulted in an Associate Practice for 18 years before pursuing my dream of creating a patient-centred, multi-disciplinary specialist paediatric practice which we strive towards at SPOT Care.

My love for medicine has led me into many interesting areas, for example: I have trained in Emergency and Aeromedicine to air-lift and manage critically ill patients. I have practised Expedition Medicine, where I was the Team Doctor on two Extreme Himalayan Expeditions.

However, my abiding love is Paediatrics and particularly Neonatology, which is where I have dedicated my time and training over the last 20 years. I completed an MSc in Neonatology (with distinction) in 2025 through the 5-year NOTE program, an international postgraduate neonatal education platform in collaboration with the European Society for Paediatric Research and Southampton University. For my dissertation I completed a Service Evaluation at Mediclinic Sandton to evaluate a sepsis risk calculator to safely reduce antibiotic use in neonates.

I have developed significant experience in General Paediatrics as well as in Neonatal Intensive Care, with a particular interest in managing complex cases, including the extreme preterm baby and micro-prem. I founded SPOT Care Specialist Paediatrics with a vision to work alongside a specialist, multi-disciplinary team providing holistic input and support to the most vulnerable baby from birth, through preschool and into the school years.

My approach is to partner with parents and provide transparent, compassionate care, striving always for best practices and evidence-based principles.
