CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
At Ealing Hospital I am Director and sole Consultant (7 sessions) of the Vascular Unit. Ealing Hospital
provides vascular cover for a population of 250,000. My team includes a career Registrar, a Senior House
officer, a House officer, a risk factor modification expert for patients with peripheral arterial disease (Dr
Sandhu) and 2 vascular fellows. Every week I also conduct an arterial clinic, a venous clinic, an
outpatient ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy clinic and a leg ulcer clinic. Once per month I also
provide a risk factor modification clinic for patients with peripheral vascular disease. I have a full day and
a half day theatre list. I closely collaborate with the neurologist, diabetologists, cardiologists,
endovascular radiologists, nephrologists and other specialists in our hospital in order to provide a
multidisciplinary approach in the management of complex vascular cases. I see approximately 3000
outpatients per year and in my unit 400 operations are performed yearly.
At Charing Cross I provide emergency vascular cover for a population of 1,000,000. I am supported by a
registrar, an SHO and a HO.
The cardiothoracic service is based at Hammersmith. I perform combined surgical procedures with the
cardiothoracic surgeons and consult for vascular emergencies.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
All my jobs involved teaching of medical students, which I consider a very rewarding experience.
My teaching sessions include lectures, ward rounds and teaching by the bed side for the senior medical
students. My lectures are illustrated with a personal collection of slides of relevant interesting cases. I am
currently group leader for the Imperial College medical students for their training in surgery at Ealing
Hospital and I am a tutor in the problem based learning module to the second year medical students. I
have been an active member of the admissions panel of the IC for the last 6 years. Other educational
activities I have been involved include:
1)Supervision of the Doctoral Thesis of the following vascular research fellows:
S. Kakos,PhD student ICSM (awarded in 2004)
D. Delis, registered for MS with the University of London
V. Bowbrick, registered for MS with the University of London
M. Nunan. Completed her MSc in Medical Imaging Science with distinction (University of ertfordshire)
