CLINICAL EXPERIENCE:

Diabetes and Endocrinology
As a Consultant at the Royal Free London Hospital I treat more than 1000 patients per Year with Diabetes & Endocrine disorders in my outpatient clinics and the inpatient services. My clinical experience spans across all aspects of Diabetes and Endocrinology in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.

Diabetes: I am the clinical Lead for the Complex Diabetes Foot services across Royal Free London. My practice in Diabetes includes general adult type 1 & type 2 outpatient Diabetes Clinics, diabetes foot services and diabetes and Endocrine MDTs; and in the inpatient setting the management of Acute Diabetes emergencies.

Endocrinology: In my Endocrine Clinics I treat a wide spectrum of Endocrine disorders including parathyroid disorders, osteoporosis, calcium disorders, pituitary disease, adrenal disorders, polycystic ovarian syndrome, menstrual irregularities and menopausal symptoms, hypogonadism and patients with fatigue, sweating and flushing. Furthermore, I am the Lead Endocrine Consultant for the Royal Free Hospital joint paediatric/adult Transition services.
Obesity and Bariatric Medicine: I have extensive clinical and academic experience in the field of obesity, weight management and bariatric medicine, including medical management of obesity and weight excess per se by pharmacotherapies, investigation and management of obesity-associated complications, and management of patients before and after bariatric surgery.

ACUTE AND GENERAL MEDICINE

I have a broad experience in General Internal and Acute Medicine. My strong clinical acumen and knowledge in General Medicine is key in enabling me to provide evidence-based, high-quality and holistic clinical care to my patients.
