About

I am a foundation year 1 doctor currently working in London, with a 4-month research block focusing on Surgery and Innovation attached to the Surgery & Cancer Unit at Imperial College London. I did my MBChB at the University of Edinburgh, where I also took a year out to complete a bachelors degree in Surgical Science. I am very interested in global surgery and big data, and have experience of running international multi centre cohort studies and coding using R.
