Experience

I completed a foundation course in psychology in Spain and then worked as a rehab assistant for four years.

Since January 2022, I have been working in a private pediatric practice, assessing and treating children aged 4 to 18 years with developmental delays, although my main focus has been on Autism and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

I have worked closely over the years with psychologists, educators, family therapists, pediatricians, and speech therapists to provide comprehensive care.

Noemi Mendez - Human Rights Lawyer

As a human rights lawyer specialising in pediatric care, my mission is to advocate for the rights and well-being of children within the healthcare system. With a deep commitment to social justice and equality, I work tirelessly to ensure that every child receives the highest standard of care and is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion.

In my role at the pediatric clinic, I provide legal guidance and support to healthcare professionals, patients, and their families. I collaborate closely with medical teams to address legal issues related to pediatric care, including consent procedures, patient rights, medical decision-making, and access to healthcare services.

I advocate for policies and practices that uphold children's rights to healthcare, education, and protection from harm. I work to eliminate barriers to healthcare access, especially for marginalized and vulnerable populations, and to promote inclusive and equitable healthcare services for all children.

In addition to my advocacy work, I provide legal representation for children and families facing challenges within the healthcare system. Whether navigating medical disputes, advocating for disability rights, or addressing instances of medical negligence or abuse, I am dedicated to ensuring that children's voices are heard and their rights are upheld.

With a strong foundation in human rights law and a passion for social justice, I strive to make a meaningful impact in the lives of children and families through my work at the pediatric clinic. Together, we can create a healthcare system that respects and protects the rights of every child, regardless of background or circumstance.
