Summary

I am a dedicated and compassionate GPST3, with anticipated CCT on 25 July 2026. Throughout my diverse hospital rotations, public health placement, and general practice experience, I have developed a broad range of clinical skills and a strong commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care. I am confident in managing both acute and chronic conditions across all age groups, with particular interests in preventative medicine, continuity of care, and chronic disease management. My international background allows me to bring a deep understanding of cultural diversity, enhancing my ability to support patients from varied communities. I am now seeking a substantive GP role within a forward-thinking practice where I can consolidate my training and contribute meaningfully to patient care. I am available to commence employment from August, 2026.
