I regularly delivered the 3hour 15 minute cardiology session as part of Hammersmith Medicine's course preparing candidates for MRCP Part 1. I have previously prepared and delivered cardiology sessions as part of the MRCP Part 2 and Acute Medicine courses as well as teaching on the PACES course.http://www.hammersmithmedicine.com/

Associate Editor and Editorial Board member.Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (JCMR), the official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, is an open access, online journal that publishes high impact articles on all aspects of basic and clinical research on the design, development, manufacture, and evaluation of magnetic resonance methods applied to the cardiovascular system.

Providing assessment and medical escort for worldwide repatriation of patients and their companions following significant medical episodes. While prioritising the medical care of the patient both in the air and in transit, facilitating smooth transfer for the client whilst avoiding disruption to other passengers is a key responsibility.http://www.goldfinch.uk.com/

I pursued out-of-programme training in this competitive post specifically to acquire Level 3 credentialing in CMR. The CMR Unit, with its international reputation for cardiovascular imaging and research, performs approximately 6,000 studies annually, making it the world’s largest CMR unit clinical practice. My primary role was assisting in delivery of the clinical CMR service with responsibility for scan supervision (including stress perfusion) and primary reporting of scans.

The CMR Unit, with its international reputation for cardiovascular imaging and research, performs approximately 6,000 studies annually, making it the world’s largest CMR unit clinical practice. My primary role was assisting in delivery of the clinical CMR service with responsibility for scan supervision (including stress perfusion) and primary reporting of scans. I acquired specialist experience in imaging and reporting numerous cardiovascular pathologies under the tuition of world experts: cardiomyopathy (Dr Sanjay Prasad), myocardial ischaemia (Professor Dudley Pennell), aortopathy and cardiac masses (Professor Raad Mohiaddin), and congenital heart disease (Dr Philip Kilner), I was appointed Lead Clinical Fellow in CMR in October 2012, the responsibilities of which included managerial contribution to the efficient running of the service and coordinating scanning and reporting timetables. This post also provided opportunity to undertake the 3-month CMR course, including scanning and involvement in the numerous multi-modality imaging and MDT meetings at the Brompton. During this post, I personally supervised and reported over 600 studies, as well as reviewing in excess of 1000 studies. Show less

I was appointed to this advanced imaging fellowship by competitive interview. These fellowships have provided specialist training in advanced imaging modalities as follows:• Echocardiography – The Hammersmith & St. Mary’s Hospitals- transthoracic echocardiography, including contrast and bubble studies- stress echocardiography- transoesophageal echocardiography, including 3D TOE- assessment and peri-operative imaging for TAVI, Mitraclip and other interventional structural… Show more I was appointed to this advanced imaging fellowship by competitive interview.

I have also acquired expertise in the echocardiographic assessment of valve disease and use of Mitral Valve Quantification (MVQ) software. I have Level 2 accreditation in both Cardiac MRI and Cardiac CT.In addition to routine in-patient commitments, regular on-call duties included acute management of tertiary cardiology referrals (including for PPCI) as well as cross-specialty referrals. The regular out-patient clinics included specialist hypertension, EP, heart failure, cardiomyopathy and cardio-renal clinics. The high volume tertiary centre caseload has provided considerable experience in managing an extensive range of cardiac conditions and situations. Show less

During this time, I also applied this methodology to coronary physiology.This research fellowship facilitated development of my practical and intellectual research skills in addition to strengthening my knowledge of cardiovascular physiology. Funding was awarded by the Coronary Flow Trust.Undertaking this at the International Centre for Circulatory Health provided the opportunity to work within an integrated team of expert fluid dynamicists, engineers, physiologists and cardiologists, in addition to benefitting from the high calibre clinical and educational experience offered by St. Mary’s Hospital, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and Imperial College London.I completed a meta-analysis of the timing of arterial wave reflection and the manuscript of this work has been published in JACC. In addition, I assisted as a physician for local final visits in the ADVANCE trial and screening visits for the PARABLES study, in addition to implementing the CY1121 study locally as sub-investigator. I attended the Good Clinical Practice Course in May 2008. Show less
