I trained at Leicester Medical School and qualified in 2005. I have been working as a consultant Geriatrician at University Hospitals of Leicester since 2017 and my area of clinical interest is bladder and bowel health, I am service lead for this. I have had an interest in teaching and education for my whole career, completing an academic foundation year 2 with an interest in medical education; and later a teaching fellowship at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire. I am now working as a Wellbeing Lecturer at the Stoneygate Centre for Empathic Healthcare in Leicester Medical school looking at medical student wellbeing, and how this can be supported during their training to become doctors. This is essential in order to maintain their health and wellbeing as they embark on the challenges they will face working in the current NHS. It follows that well doctors will make more empathic practitioners.
