I was inspired to become a doctor because I believe working with people is a very noble thing to do and working directly with humans is a fundamental part of medicine. I then specialised in surgery because I want to make a difference which is measurable – as a surgeon you can see the direct impact and effect of what you are doing. I also believe th...
I was extremely proud and excited to be offered the role of Head of Department. However, that wasn’t because it was just a promotion but because it offered me the opportunity to better serve people – being Head of Department gives me the best opportunity to make a positive difference to people’s lives.

Aspiring to the highest quality, to the greatest of your ability, should be a key driver for those who work in the Department.

They are fundamental ...
There will always be parts of a job which are challenging and there will always be parts which are difficult, but I think the principle is to convert the problem into an opportunity – an enemy into a friend. That is what I take as a challenge – if I have a problem, how can I convert it into an opportunity.
Outside of the hospital, I like to support my local community through charity work and mentoring young people who may be going through tough times in their life. I find it particularly rewarding helping young people change their life in a positive way, some of whom are often resistant to change initially. I am also very blessed to have an extremely...
I have always enjoyed is physics, but if I ever had to choose what to be again, I would remain a surgeon!
