@archanalakhani
Medical Officer specializing in Internal Medicine, delivering safe acute and ICU care with patient-centred judgment.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Medical professional (NCHD) with 3+ years of experience in Internal Medicine, fully registered with the General Medical Council. Certified in BLS, ALS, and OET, I’m known for strong clinical judgment, effective communication, and a patient-centred approach in busy multidisciplinary settings.
In telemedicine practice, I performed virtual urgent assessments and risk-stratified cases to build individualized management plans, including appropriate safety netting and hospital referral escalation. As a Medical Officer (ICU and HDU), I deliver specialized care to critically ill patients with complex presentations such as MI/arrhythmias, DKA, sepsis/septic shock, and acute respiratory failure requiring ventilation.
I bring strong diagnostic and procedural capability—interpreting ECGs and ABGs, assessing with imaging and other investigations, and supporting advanced interventions such as resuscitation, electrolyte correction, IV cannulation, and central line management. I also contribute to quality improvement, including a project on prevention of bedsores in long-stay HDU patients through risk assessment, daily skin checks, repositioning schedules, and pressure-relieving mattress use.
