My passion for anaesthesia was inspired by my father, a consultant anaesthetist whom I have always admired. Observing his work sparked a deep fascination, and I knew this was the path I wanted to follow. This passion continues to drive me, fueling my eagerness to learn, expand my expertise, and stay at the forefront of advancements in the field.

Throughout my medical career, I have come to appreciate that anaesthesia is not just about administering drugs—it is a dynamic specialty that demands clinical excellence, communication, leadership, and teaching skills. I am committed to developing these qualities to provide the highest standard of patient care and contribute meaningfully to the profession.

• I was the Doctors' mess president from February 2021 till July 2023. During this time, I have managed to improve the mess's condition that was neglected during the COVID-19 pandemic. I managed to establish a committee for the mess, wrote a constitution for it, established its own bank account, retrieved more than 4K, refurbished it and set up several social and sports events. But most importantly, we managed to establish a link between the different messes amongst the same trust and other trusts that junior doctors rotate between them.
