About me
I am a GP working in Essex after completing my GP training in the Oxford Deanery. I graduated from University of Leicester Medical School (UK) in 2012. Since then I have had a variety of teaching experience and had to sit many Clinical Skills exams to become a GP.
Alongside being a GP, I have an integral part in medical education. I have worked as a Clinical Educator in two medical schools working with medical students. I currently hold a post as a training programme director for GPs and also continue my work in a medical school here in the UK.
I am an examiner for medical OSCEs for a UK medical school, which gives me fundamental knowledge to help you plan for your CSA.
I have a solid foundation in the structure and expectation of this particular exam after helping fellow candidates (who have now passed) prepare for the UKFPO CSA exam in October 2019 and October 2021. We worked together to:
Designated time to cover gaps in knowledge followed by structured OSCE revision
Brief discussion around clinical topics - their differentials, investigations and management
Practiced paperwork i.e prescriptions, fluid charts etc
Constructive and written feedback
OSCE stations
COMMUNICATION SKILLS!
My qualifications include: MRCGP (2017, Oxford Deanery), MCBHB (2012, University of Leicester Medical School), BSc Biomedical Sciences from SGUL (St Georges, University of London), PG Certificate in Medical Education.
