A highly motivated, focused and experienced doctor with proven skills at extracting relevant information from patients and making accurate diagnosis and proper management. I was a resident doctor in Anaesthesia for over 6 years from January 2014-October 2020 with a wide range of experience both in general and regional anaesthetic techniques, and exposure to care of patients in intensive care unit including tracheostomy care and ventilatory support in critically ill-patients. I am looking for clinical attachment to keep abreast of current clinical practice as well as to acquaint myself with NHS work flow.
