Quality and patient safety
I have enjoyed a rewarding and challenging career in medicine/anaesthesia. Trained and worked at a hospital recognized as one of the largest hospitals in the world for seventeen years. I gained extensive experience and had the opportunity to work in many fields of anaesthesia including substantial trauma anaesthesia exposure.
My family and I then travelled to the UAE which provided us with many new opportunities and amazing experiences. I joined SKMC and was exposed to a vast array of anaesthesia challenges, became very engaged with quality of patient care and took on variety of administrative roles. I worked at SKMC for twenty-three years until my retirement at the end of 2024.
I am delighted to return to SKMC as a locum tenens this year.
