Professional Accomplishments


Professional achievements and contributions to the health service and medical education, teaching, training, supervising and clinical and academic research.


  1. Achievements and impact on the Clinical and Health service professional work.

I spent my career in the NHS care and the same number of years in clinical academic role in the UK, which continuously inspired me to be able to make substantial professional contributions, leading to significant developments and improvements in health care and health education. I was able to introduce innovative medical treatment and management strategies in the health service of the country. As a UK consultant in the NHS and University teaching hospitals I took the lead from foundation, in designing, planning, structuring and implementing some of the advance cardiac services facilities and treatment units, such as establishing new cardiac catheter angiography centre, new multidisciplinary heart failure services and specialist advance Nuclear Cardiology units at a regional DGH, at St Bartholomew’s homerton hospital London and St George’s University Hospital London.

As a regional chairperson of the Cambridge Cardiac network, I was responsible for restructuring, commissioning and redeveloping the regional Nuclear Cardiology services at all Cambridge network hospitals that are now functioning and delivering high standard clinical services that I successfully initiated and established.

I was single handed, when I set up the first Cardiac catheter unit at a DGH and performed the first Cardiac invasive procedure alone while teaching and training the new catheter laboratory support staff. Similar way I set up three new Heart failure services in three different hospitals, also single handed, as these services did not exist then, and so I also had to train the clinical support staff. I took further initiative to establish new community cardiology services, community heart failure centres and community echocardiography clinics which did not exist at the time in early 2000.

These newly established clinical services resulted in rapid improvement of the community care of cardiac patients and significantly reduced the recurrent hospital admissions of sick patients who were well looked after and treated at home by the community care team. Development and implementation of these brand new clinical services were challenging, particularly when being single handed and that demanded extensive long hours of work counting up to 15 sessions a week, almost on a regular basis, though without adding any extra cost to the NHS, for this extended service. My long hours of additional services were entirely my dedication to take the challenge with strong aspiration and motivation to make a difference and improve the standard of NHS services for the benefit of patients.

In addition to innovative developments, my routine daily Consultant work at various regions including London and Cambridge involved structured and designated undertaking of named clinician patient care, on call duties, administrative schedules, leadership roles and activities in various clinical and health care development projects. These are few to mention out of my extensive range of service commitments that made a significant difference with successful achievements to transform a basic health care structure of a regional DGH to a very high standard National Health Service institution.

Achievement of such success has been very fulfilling, when I see that all those years of my service contributions helped develop and establish various new clinical services that never existed before, in those hospitals, that are now transformed to be high standard national health service organisations providing and delivering best possible high quality patient care


  1. Contribution to undergraduate and postgraduate medical education and teaching.

This is an area that gives me particular pleasure and pride to say that I was able to contribute ever since the beginning of my career with significant achievements. I always had strong vision and desire to be an academic contributor and an advocate of advance higher medical education and so I passionately made extensive academic contributions throughout my long career. I have been deeply involved with medical education, teaching and training of students, trainees and health care staff at a number of teaching institutions and hospitals in the UK including university medical schools of Leeds, Dundee, St Mary’s Imperial college, UCL, Guy’s & St Thomas’, St Bart’s, St George’s and Cambridge university medical school and currently King’s college Medical School, London.

As a medical educator, teacher, supervisor and senior lecturer I was routinely involved with medical education of undergraduate and postgraduate medical students and trainees undertaking scientific education and research for medical academic degrees and qualifications such as MSc, MD, PH.D and various intercalated research degrees. Being an academic staff I was also regularly teaching, training and supervising in number of graduate and postgraduate internal and external educational courses.


My first involvement with academic medical education started over 30 years ago with my personal education and research, alongside my role in teaching junior colleagues since late ‘80s and continued over the years as a fully qualified clinical teacher, lecturer and senior lecturer in a number of academic medical institutions throughout the country as noted above, with most recent contributions as Senior lecturer at St George’s university, Cambridge University and currently as a teacher, trainer, supervisor and exam questions setter and clinical examiner at King’s college London as said above. Over three decades my dedicated contribution in the field of medical education and research in the UK, makes me highly fulfilled as I see the successful achievements of those students and trainees whom I once taught and trained are now well established clinical educators and academics themselves in respective educational fields for the advancement of medical education in the country and the wider world.


My further contributions as medical educator, trainer and advisor extended from UK to many parts of the world with my voluntary professional contributions in number of national and international medical and health charity organisations and institutions, to name a few as below:

  • UK – Building bridges doctors charity – medical teaching, training, mentoring for overseas international doctors.

  • UK – Doctors of the world - voluntary clinical support, advisory medical education.

  • Middle East charity Doctors of the continent - medical educator, clinical advisor.

  • Telemed International virtual doctors - specialist clinical educator, advisor and live clinical care service.

  • India – Global health volunteer alliance – Aragya Seva – health clinic doctor, medical educator.

  • International medical charity –Arian Teleheal - UN Global Goals Advocate, medical educator.

  • Global Continental Medics – international charity, medical advice, education for deprived world.

  • UK personal set up of charity - medical support and education for local and community services.

  • BMA north central committee Treasurer and educational lead.

London Leadership Academy, Postgraduate Deanery – Acting as mentor and facilitator for medical education faculty of London Deanery. This is highly fulfilling work in a leadership role providing educational advice and mentoring support to promote medical education in the UK.


I have made lifelong contributions to the undergraduate and postgraduate medical and health care education in the UK and globally and that is wide ranging and substantially broad to give the full account of the entire list and so I hope the above consolidated information will provide some insight and perception to the contributions I made throughout my professional life.

3. Contribution to the advancement of specialty by scientific research.

My early career started with dedicated research based work in my specialty and that continued throughout, leading to achievement of two academic masters degrees, a further MD degree and then a Ph.D.degree with publication of four specialty clinical research thesis and several peer reviewed scientific publications in national and international medical journals.


Further specialty research work over the years produced number of publications in different national and international medical journals and medical books and also contributed in scientific presentations at various national and international conferences, seminars and research development projects over three decades. The core research products have been used in clinical applications, as anti-platelet medicated anticoagulation treatment, in many types of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.


The internal clinical research and audit of various clinical categories of the specialty practice and the resultant outcomes made significant changes in local specialty practice with consensus agreement to an uniform and improved patient care system. However implementing the research outcome had not always been an easy task as there are different local priorities and individual preferences in most institutions. Despite the constraints, the research work achieved significant success in showing the beneficial effects in clinical practices of some challenging clinical areas such as:

  • - Application of advance nuclear imaging substantially reduced the number of invasive cardiac investigations.

  • - Alternative investigations considerably reduced the need for many conventional cardiac tests.

  • - Evidence based reporting methods significantly improved the quality of reporting standard of many routine cardiac investigations with cost effective clinical benefits.

The internal research results and outcomes have been the basis of local practice protocols and incorporated in the internal policy and practice guidance.

Throughout my professional life I wanted to make a difference and tried to dedicate myself with continued contributions over decades, for advancement and improvement in patients health care, medical education and scientific medical research. I was privileged to have achieved success in making a difference and received, apart from many academic qualifications, the notable recognition of EBSC (European Board specialty) and also an honour of a Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology (FESC) and a further honour of a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (FACC). All in recognition of exceptional professional contributions and achievements, in specialty work and services to the advancement and promotion of better health care and medical education and research for the benefit of the wider world.

I feel it’s a fulfilment of my duty, hopes and determination, that I could make some useful professional contributions throughout my long career, for the benefit and betterment of patient care and the humanity.
