Dedicated General Practitioner with diverse clinical experience and teaching skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated General Practitioner with a strong foundation in medicine, having completed my Honours Degree in Medicine, Surgery, and Obstetrics from University College Cork. My journey in healthcare began with internships in various specialties, including Cardiology, Gastroenterology, and Obstetrics, which equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of patient care across different medical fields.
Throughout my career, I have gained invaluable experience as a GP Registrar in multiple medical centers, where I honed my skills in patient management and developed a keen interest in minor skin surgery and joint injections. My commitment to education is evident in my role as a mentor for medical students, where I have delivered presentations and facilitated peer-to-peer learning. I am passionate about improving healthcare practices, as demonstrated by my involvement in quality improvement projects and research initiatives.
