SHREYAS LALIT PATHAK

I am a UK based junior doctor currently working at a PGY-2 level in the NHS in UK. I have a passion for clinical medicine and I have over 2.5 years of resident medical officer (RMO) experience in general medicine wards, Coronary Care Unit (CCU) and acute psychiatric ward in busy, tertiary care hospitals. My clinical experience has enabled me to develop the necessary skills needed in clinical settings such as clinical prioritization, team work and closed loop communication with seniors, colleagues and allied healthcare staff. I am competent in essential inpatient clinical procedures and currently seeking opportunities in a supervised RMO equivalent medical role. I am eligible for AHPRA registration under the competent authority pathway.

• Resuscitation Skills: I have obtained advanced life support (ALS) provider status from Resuscitation Council, UK which has helped me develop clinical knowledge and skills to manage cardiac arrests and resuscitation in special circumstances, eg: life-threatening electrolyte abnormalities, acute severe asthma, anaphylaxis, sepsis, correcting abnormal blood gases etc.
• Clinical Skills: I can work in challenging and stressful situations by taking prompt decisions as and when required. I am also able to manage time and prioritise clinical tasks effectively in order to ensure that they are completed within a specified time frame. I have considerable experience working in fast-paced departments and can handle high-intensity clinician demands in order to deliver safe, appropriate, and standard care to my patients.
• Communication Skills: I have the ability to use effective communication skills that are tailored to the situation I am working in along with using tact, empathy and persuasion skills as and when required making me an effective communicator with the ability to build rapport with patients and colleagues alike.
• Teamwork: I am able to work under pressure in busy environments and I liaise with other members of the multidisciplinary team in triaging patients and formulating treatment plans that are tailored to patient needs and thereby provide holistic care to my patients.
• Good medical practice: I always put patients first in everything I do whilst providing safe, effective and appropriate treatment by adhering to core principles of good medical practice like ensuring patient safety, maintaining confidentiality, recognising safeguarding issues, obtaining consent, duty of candour, maintaining professional boundaries and being aware of my own limitations and asking for help from senior colleagues.
• Development: I can adapt to work schedules and I am receptive to constructive criticism. I actively seek feedback from my colleagues, seniors, and patients, and promptly reflect on it to enhance my performance. Keeping myself updated by completing relevant courses is one of my primary commitments to the profession.
• Leadership Skills: I worked as a RMO in Medicine wherein I regularly worked during night shifts with minimal senior support. I supervised my junior colleagues and managed an entire Covid ward on my own and took important decisions pertaining to clinical management using my own clinical judgement when my senior colleagues were busy and kept them well-informed about the clinical outcome of my intervention and overall progress of patients.
• Clinical knowledge and Experience: I have about 2 and a half years of clinical work experience in various specialties and clinical settings which has enhanced my clinical acumen and clinical judgment. However, I always strive to identify improvement opportunities and focus on continuous skill development.
