TEAM WORK

As a clinical fellow in a busy A&E, I worked closely with specialists, led resuscitation teams, and prioritized effective teamwork and communication to enhance patient care. I also gained valuable experience as a healthcare assistant in a London GP surgery, collaborating with a multidisciplinary team to provide optimal patient care. Through these roles, I developed strong flexibility, problem-solving, and communication skills essential for effective healthcare teamwork.

AUDIT & QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS

I assessed the frequency of HbA1c checks in type 2 diabetes patients, aiming for 100% compliance every 3–6 months. The initial audit showed that fewer than 50% of patients met this standard, prompting educational sessions for junior doctors and nurses. A re-audit demonstrated a 20% improvement in HbA1c monitoring frequency.

  • Oral presentation in international meetings/conferences of “7th Edition of International Conference on Family Medicine & Primary Care” February 22-24, 2018 at Paris, France.

TEACHING

As an NHS healthcare assistant in a GP surgery, I trained junior nurses and colleagues on ECG interpretation, phlebotomy, and BLS through regular hands-on and online sessions. As an A&E clinical fellow, I taught medical students, junior doctors, and nurses on topics like ALS, ABCDE protocol, and imaging interpretation. Additionally, I completed a medical mentoring course and plan to attend the "Teach the Teacher" course at Oxford Medical Training.

MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP

As a clinical fellow in A&E, I led an emergency response team for disasters and major accidents, organizing meetings and setting team goals under consultant supervision. I also led the CPR team during shifts, ensuring equipment readiness and clear role assignments. These leadership roles strengthened my problem-solving skills, teamwork, and ability to build trust within the team.
