Bilal Suleman

As a dedicated and forward-thinking GPST3 registrar approaching CCT, I have developed strong clinical expertise and adaptability through diverse experience in both Bradford and the Pennine region. I thrive in both independent and team-based settings, regularly undertaking duty doctor responsibilities, managing urgent queries, triaging patients, and conducting home visits. Proficient in both face-to-face and telephone consultations, I am committed to delivering safe, efficient, and patient-centered care. Passionate about continuous learning and professional growth, I am actively expanding my skill set by completing dermoscopy training and a joint injection course. I have a strong interest in medical education, teaching, and mentoring, alongside a deep commitment to lifestyle and preventative medicine, particularly the role of nutrition in long-term health. Additionally, I am enthusiastic about improving efficiency in primary care, leveraging digitalisation and AI to enhance patient outcomes and streamline practice workflows. I am looking to join a dynamic, forward-thinking practice with a strong team ethos, where I can contribute to high-quality patient care while further developing my skills in a supportive and progressive environment.
