Summary

I'm a dedicated and highly motivated doctor with a strong background in Emergency Medicine, Acute Care, and Trauma & Orthopaedics, committed to delivering high-quality patient care in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, having gained extensive experience during Foundation Training at Princess Alexandra Hospital, Harlow. Since completing MBBS (2020, Wuhan, China) and obtaining GMC registration (2022), I have honed clinical decision-making, high-pressure care, and procedural skills including arterial line insertion, lumbar punctures, and complex urinary catheterisation.

Interest lies in managing high-acuity cases, applying evidence-based medicine, and refining procedural skills. Also have experience in acute psychiatry and crisis management, which strengthens holistic approach to patient care.

I'm passionate about medical education and quality improvement. I have led teaching sessions for junior doctors and medical students on emergency medicine, orthopaedic and urology emergencies, and BLS training. My involvement in audits and QI projects, including initiatives to improve VTE prophylaxis compliance and urethral catheter care, reflects my commitment to enhancing clinical efficiency and patient safety.

I'm eager to continue developing expertise in Emergency Medicine, Acute Care, and Trauma & Orthopaedics, while pursuing opportunities for leadership, research, and medical education to contribute meaningfully to patient outcomes.
