Accomplishments

    Poster Presentation at the British and Irish Hypertensive Society Conference 2025

  • FY1 representative

  • Serving as the F1 representative strengthened my ability to lead collaboratively. I enjoyed advocating for the needs of my cohort and developed confidence in my communication skills whilst doing so.
  • Medical School Interviewer

  • I was chosen as a medical school interviewer, acknowledging my professionalism, communication skills and ability to evaluate candidates thoughtfully.

Quality improvement

VTE Risk Assessment and Prescribing

  • I completed a two cycle quality improvement project on VTE risk assessments being carried out and prescribing on the acute medical unit in University College hospital. I was able to analyse the current healthcare system and identify weaker areas requiring improvement. I gained experience in collecting data accurately and interpreting whether change is real or random, strengthening my ability to make evidence-based decisions. I learnt project management skills such as planning and running a PDSA cycle and coordinating with different members of a healthcare team. The QIP highlighted that sustainable change requires consistent engagement and small incremental improvements.
