What I'm looking for

I seek a consultant-level acute/internal medicine role where I can lead service development, train clinicians, run ambulatory and cardiology-focused clinics, and progress toward a clinical director position; open to Middle East opportunities.

I am a Consultant in Acute and General Medicine with extensive UK training (CCT Acute and General Medicine) and broad clinical experience across acute medicine, cardiology, neurology, ICU and emergency care. I lead Medical SDEC, student placements, after action review for medicine and serve as a clinical and educational supervisor and interview panel member.

I have a Diploma in Preventive Cardiology and accredited procedural skills including focused echocardiography (FICE), lung ultrasound, US-guided pleural and ascitic procedures, central venous access and chest drains. I have led multiple audits and QIPs (troponin ACS pathway, pleural procedures, community-acquired pneumonia, readmission and hospital avoidance audits) and authored local guidelines on hypocalcaemia and electrolyte/cardiac monitoring.

I build ambulatory medical services, set up acute procedure rooms and focused echo services, train junior doctors, develop medical pathways and run chest pain, lipid and cardiac risk clinics. I am working toward a Clinical Director role and am interested in consultant-level acute/internal medicine roles, including opportunities in the Middle East.
