Graduated from University of Kerala, India in 1994. Since qualification I have held posts in medical and surgical specialities in Kerala (a State in Southern India) and in the U.K.

I underwent General Practice training in Scotland and West Midlands. General Practice training was completed in 2006 and I joined a Practice in Dudley Borough. I have been a partner in the same Practice for 16 years before I joined Church Road Surgery, Aston in 2022.

Cardiovascular Medicine and Diabetes management are my areas of special interests. I am very proud to be part of a dynamic team at Church Road I enjoy travel and sports.

In addition, I have a wide area of non medical interests varying from archaeogenetics to history to politics and beyond.

I have always seen nursing as my vocation. I have never wanted to do or be anything else. I began my training in 1986 as a pupil nurse and qualified as an EN(G), as I wanted to be a nurse who was caring for her patients by the bedside and not through management (as it was like that back in the day). I worked as an EN(G) and started my journey working on a 24 bedded Nightingale ward for female Orthopaedic patients. I qualified as a Registered Nurse (RGN replaced the EN(G) in 1997.

Having achieved RGN status I worked and gained valuable experience in all aspects of general nursing: Ophthalmology, Infectious diseases, surgical, medical, respiratory, ITU, A&E, sexual health, and Primary care. I subsequently gained my Independent Prescribing qualification and achieved a BSc in Women’s Health & Sexual Health.

I have spent most of my Nursing career in the Primary care setting and undertook a Fellowship in leadership. In primary care a RGN will lead on chronic disease management such as Asthma, Diabetes, COPD, Sexual health, Cervical screening and childhood Immunisations.

These are a few areas covered alongside triaging and assessing minor illness and more serious illnesses requiring fast track referrals and the support and management from my GP colleagues. I am interested in providing an expert opinion on cases regarding allegations of nursing negligence and malpractice.

I have undergone formal training in the medico-legal process and am fully aware of my responsibilities under the Civil procedure Rules (CPR) pertaining to Expert Witnesses. I accept instructions from both Claimant and Defendant Solicitors and Insurers
