A dedicated GMC-registered Doctor with two year’s experience of providing quality patient care, I am seeking SRMO/RMO positions from August 2025 in HOSPITAL. Having completed Foundation Training in October 2025, I am experienced in various clinical settings including General Surgery (Colorectal), Paediatrics, Acute Medical Unit, Geriatrics, General practice and Emergency Medicine.
