Background
Professional Profile
After completing my specialty training in North London, I worked for four years as a Palliative Medicine Consultant in an acute trust in north east London before moving to Watford General in 2022.
My interests include: education of generalists about palliative and end of life care, widening access to specialist palliative care to underserved populations, and learning from deaths.
Promotion of staff wellbeing is important to me, and I am the clinical lead for Schwartz Rounds at the trust.
