Qualification & Experience

M.B.B.S, MD ( GENERAL MEDICINE) MRCP (GENERAL MEDICINE), MRCPath (Haematology), U.K

Introduction:

I went with the express purpose of furthering my Haematology training to U.K. in March 1996. I joined as a specialist registrar in Haematology on the Royal College Specialist Registrar Training Programme in May 1996. Since then I have worked at various Hospitals, which include DistrictGeneralHospitals and large Teaching Hospitals.

I have been exposed to advanced laboratory techniques, which include Immunophenotyping, Cytogenetics, assessment of minimal residual disease in Leukemia by molecular techniques. I have also had the opportunity to train at National Blood Service and therefore am quite proficient in blood banking techniques, component production and screening methods for safety of blood.
