I am passionate about preventive medicine. Family medicine is key to a healthcare system, as it can address any patient issue with the right treatment/advice/investigations/onward referral to the correct specialist/ co ordinating care/follow up
I am a consultant family medicine, certified by the General medical Council UK and a member of Royal College of General Practitioners London. After my bachelor qualification in 2002 I have practiced in the National Health Service in the UK hospitals in various specialties to compliment the General/family physician training until completing training and achieving MRCGP in 2011. I practiced as. Family physician in the UK for 8 years before moving to Dubai, however I still maintain my full UK license and return to work multiple times a year.
I believe in holistic, patient centred care. I feel each individual has their own unique therapeutic process and good family practice incorporates the whole person into a treatment plan rather than treating individual problems.
