What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote position in a exciting field, geared towards customers care.

I am an experienced vascular surgeon with broad international training and a record of clinical leadership across NHS and European hospitals, including registrar and speciality doctor roles in vascular surgery.

I have delivered surgical care, organised and taught national vascular skills courses, led audits and quality-improvement projects—reinstating rifampicin-impregnated graft protocol with marked improvements—and presented research nationally.

I am committed to teaching medical students and trainees, maintaining up-to-date endovascular and open vascular skills through courses and conferences, and volunteering in vascular screening programmes.
