Skills and Proficiencies
Able to recognize and give immediate and appropriate treatment in a wide range of Medical and Surgical conditions including:
• Myocardial infarction
• Acute coronary syndrome
• Pulmonary embolus and Sickle Cell Crisis
• Deep vein thrombosis
• Acute asthma attack
• Severe exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

• Orthopaedic injuries such as fractured neck of femur, ankle injuries, Salter Harris fractures, supracondylar fractures, Montaggae / Galazzae fractures, osteomylitis and septic arthritis.
I have experience conducting independent and consultant led ward rounds in a range of clinical settings.
I am proficient at the following procedures:
• Arterial and venous line insertion
• Central line insertion (internal jugular and femoral)
• Chest drain insertion
• Lumbar puncture
• Proctoscopy, sigmoidoscopy and banding of hemorrhoids
• Interpreting a range of plain films including Chest, Abdominal, Spine and Limb X-Rays.
Teaching Experience
Informal teaching of nursing and medical students by the bed side
Audits
Conducted an audit on the cost effectiveness of pre-donated autologous blood transfusion six weeks pre-operative in patients undergoing knee and hip replacement studies at Broomfield Hospital over a one year period of June 2001 to May 2002.
Found out that there were 38 percent reduction in hospital stay (p-value <0.001) as well as 19.9 percent reduction in post op wound infection (p-value <0.04).
More frequent use was suggested, and a colleague would be re-auditing in three months time to close the audit loop and re-evaluate gains if any to the department.

Management Experience
Was in charge of medical students’ hostel as the welfare secretary, Medical Students’ Association. I had to manage a group of six office staff attached to the medical students’ secretariat, motivating them for optimal performance, as well as the annual budget.
Career Goal
My short term goal is to undertake a six months training in accident and emergency medicine, which I strongly believe will be a bed rock on which a successful career in any acute specialty should be built.
This job will also help me towards meeting my training requirement towards completion of my basic surgical training.
I am committed to a career in bloodless and laparoscopic surgery. On completion of my higher surgical training, I hope to be actively involved in teaching and research into bloodless surgery in the UK.
Hobbies
My hobbies include:
• Crayfishing
• Mountain walking with my wife and daughter
• Web design
• Medieval history and travelling
I was most delighted to complete the London marathon last year, raising £22,425.00 for a charity organisation
