Shahir Hayat

Motivated and reliable A-level student studying Mathematics, Biology, and Chemistry, with strong predicted grades and a clear interest in healthcare. Gained valuable practical experience as a medical observer at Lister Hospital, developing professionalism, communication skills, and an understanding of teamwork within an NHS setting, while learning about Eastern medical approaches.

I also completed over a month of work experience at Maiwand Medical Clinic and Diagnostic Center in Kandahar, Afghanistan, where I was exposed to Western medical practices, including treatment methods and the use of commonly prescribed antibiotics. These experiences enhanced my cultural awareness, adaptability, and understanding of different healthcare systems. I have further demonstrated academic commitment through achieving a Bronze award in the British Chemistry Olympiad and completing the Gold CREST Award, conducting independent research titled “Working Against the Body Clock: The Cardiovascular Costs of Poor Sleep.” I am a hardworking and organised individual seeking to develop transferable skills in a professional role.
