Summary
Trauma & Orthopaedics Registrar with nearly two years of NHS experience, including practice within one of the largest trusts in the UK, where I have gained significant exposure to both major trauma and elective orthopaedic services. My background in Anaesthesia and General Surgery has strengthened my peri-operative understanding, clinical judgement, and ability to respond promptly and effectively in complex or emergency situations. I have also been involved in audit projects and contributed to a few publications, reflecting my interest in clinical governance and academic development. Having completed FCPS training in Orthopaedics, I bring comprehensive surgical experience, operative competence, and a strong commitment to patient safety, making me a well-rounded and highly suitable candidate for this role.
