I am a GP trainee in my second year of the Newham GPVTS programme. I studied medicine at the University of Glasgow where I also undertook an intercalated degree in clinical medicine.After graduating I completed both of my foundation years at Whipps Cross University Hospital. I then spent 2 years working as a senior house officer. The majority of this was working at Homerton University Hospital in the sickle cell disease team. I have developed a passion for this particular area of medicine and will pursue it as a specialist interest in my future career as a GP.
