I am a high energy and positive individual to bring good morale to the working team, with expertise in procedural skills. I have dedicated significant amount of time with teaching and training emerging doctors, as well as helping with MRCP for doctors in training. I am interested in research having supervised QI projects, conducted my own and have partaken in national audits that have been published. I have done regional and national presentations and keen to expand this scope. I am also a second author on a case report, however I am yet to publish or partake in a research project as first author. I have strong interpersonal skills and have utilised this by being the social secretary for the doctor's mess in NHS Grampian.
