Summary
Consultant-level physician in General Internal Medicine with cardiology-focused expertise, trained and practising in the UK and Ireland across tertiary and acute teaching hospitals. Experienced in managing unselected acute medical admissions, complex multi-system disease, and high-acuity patients, with strong independent senior decision-making and emphasis on patient safety and guideline-based care.
My practice integrates General Internal Medicine with clinical cardiology, including management of acute coronary syndromes, heart failure, arrhythmias, and cardiovascular complications in medical inpatients. I have a strong interest in acute and emergency cardiology and utilise focused bedside echocardiography to support timely diagnosis and escalation of care.
I am an effective clinical leader with extensive experience supervising junior doctors, working within multidisciplinary teams, and contributing to clinical governance, audit, and quality improvement. I am recognised for clear communication, professionalism, and a patient-centred approach aligned with high-standard healthcare systems in the UAE.
