Dissertation / Thesis
During my MD programme in INDIA between 1997 -1999 I completed a thesis on “Opportunistic infections in AIDS” (Roughly 6000 words).

Management Experience
I have gained management experience principally through participation in service redevelopment/ improvement meetings of gastroenterology and acute medicine departments through my training. I was the junior doctors representative in 2007 at the Walsall Manor hospital in the MMC/ OOH practice committee when significant changes were being made to the way out of hours acute care was delivered including introduction of nurse practitioners and withdrawing house officers from the rota. I gained insight into the financial and administrative aspects of service delivery through regular participation in the ERCP service development meetings at the QEH. Management courses attended
