Noha Abdelzaher

I am a dedicated and motivated medical doctor with a strong background in General Medicine, Gastroenterology, Public Health, and Acute Medicine. After completing extensive clinical and academic training in Egypt, I joined the NHS where I worked as a Medical Registrar. I developed my UK portfolio and successfully secured a National Training Number (NTN) in Geriatric Medicine in the East of England.

I commenced my Geriatrics training in February 2025, and I am currently progressing from ST4 to ST5. I have a strong interest in Stroke Medicine and am preparing to apply for an Out-of-Programme Training (OOPT) opportunity in Stroke. I am actively building a stroke-focused portfolio through participation in TIA and stroke clinics, managing acute stroke emergencies as the medical registrar on call, and undertaking an audit/QIP project within stroke services.

My clinical grounding, research experience, leadership capability, and commitment to high-quality patient care make me well-suited for advanced specialist training roles within the NHS.

I aim to complete my Geriatric Medicine training and pursue Stroke Medicine via an OOPT placement, with the long-term goal of working as a Stroke consultant and geriatrician. I am committed to delivering safe, evidence-based and compassionate care while contributing to service development, teaching, and quality improvement within the NHS.
