Biography:
With over 30 years’ experience I am a fully trained Consultant in Dual Speciality of Endocrinology and Internal Medicine.
In the UK, I headed the Endocrinology Department in one of the largest hospitals in North Wales for over 10 years. Thereafter in the UAE I worked as part of a strong team for at the prestigious Imperial College London Diabetes Center, where I managed all sorts of diabetic cases as well as endocrinology cases for over 11 years.
I like to keep myself up to date with the recent advances in endocrinology and diabetes. As I am committed to my own continued learning, I find great reward in training junior doctors. I was a tutor for the Royal College of Physicians in the UK, and in the UAE I have been apart of a training group to train the young doctors of today.
I have a keen interest in research and have published many papers regionally and internationally in the relevant journals.
