Summary

After gaining years of valuable experience in the medical field, I made the decision to pursue a career as a General Practitioner in order to achieve a better work-life balance. I an a hardworking and compassionate professional who maintains composure and focus even when I am under pressure. I have built up a range of skills from specialty training in the past and have a strong motivational drive to provide the best care and treatment for my patients. I am always eager to build on my clinical experience and competencies by learning new techniques and adding to my abilities in the face of challenging opportunities .I have learnt how to provide effective care to patients while being under pressure and always try to remain flexible to also help other members of the team. I have also become familiar and confident in treating different vulnerable patients empathetically and prioritizing their safety through thorough communication and adhering to Trust policies and guidelines. I am supportive, adaptive and believe in inclusion and my colleagues see me as an invaluable member of the team. An asset to my previous training in Pakistan means I have unique experience of managing patients in rural settings with very limited resources in addition to also managing a highly critical number of patients in the dense city hospitals. I am also very much aware of the importance of documentation and have the excellent organizational skills to maintain them accordingly.
