As a surgical Trainee - I worked in UK, India and Australia (after being awarded the very competetive national TWJ fellowship) . The initial years of my training in the UK provided exposure to all aspects of ORL-HNS and helped me to obtain the DLO (RCS- Eng), FRCS-ENT (Ed) andFRCS(ORL-HNS). Working in busy units, I gained good surgical experience by performing many routine operations. I under went Higher Surgical Training in ORL-HNS in the South West (Bristol) region between May 2001 to October 2007. I passed the intercollegiate FRCS(ORL) exam in April 2005 and did the prestigious TWJ clinical fellowship at the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear hospital in Melbourne, Australia, July 2006- August 2007. I have been a consultant with sub-specialist interest in otology and rhinology for 10 years. For the last 20 years I have also been actively involved in teaching medical students as an ENT trainee specialist registrar and honorary

senior lecturer with the Birmingham, Cardiff, Bristol and Aberdeen universities

(medical school).

UK, India and Australia including tertiary referral centres Birmingham Queen

Hospital in Bristol, Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital in Melbourne,

Sassoon University Teaching Hospital in

Pune and NHS District General Hospitals in Newport, Gloucester, Bath, Bristol,

Derby, Burton on Trent, Bodelwyddan& Stafford. During the training I was

fortunate to work with excellent ENT

surgeons. I have a sub-specialist interest in Otology and Rhinology and ENT

Allergy treatment.

I have an insight into the health systems

in Australia, UK, USA and India (briefly in the States where I did clinical

attachments). My organisational and leadership skills are clearly demonstrated from the several

projects I have successfully completed.

The departments I have worked in have had a strong lead in audit and I been

involved in several audit projects. I have also been keenly involved in formal

and informal teaching for nursing staff, medical students, SHO's, foundation

year trainees and specialist registrars.

My research experience includes a higher research degree (MS), several

publications including RCT's in indexed journals, Cochrane review (protocol

published on Cochrane website) and a published thesis. I am now Principal

nationally by NIHR. I am also a regular journal reviewer for acto otolaryngologica

journal widely read bimonthly Internationally Journal. My research

has been presented nationally and internationally including Europe, Canada, US, India, Malaysia and Australia.
