Summary
I am a doctor with 6 years experience working in Irish hospitals and GP practices.
For the last year I have been the senior doctor at the Blarney Rehabilitation Center responsible for managing patient care at that facility.
I was previously on the GP training scheme and completed my CKT and MEQ exams but left prior to completing the scheme due to health reasons requiring kidney surgery.
I have strong interpersonal skills and have instituted team dynamics where team members can be effective but also are well supported. I have been noted to be hard working and flexible regarding my hours and duties in order to maintain a good quality of service for patients.
I have a personal interest in health and fitness and am enthusiastic about educating patients about how they can improve their health.
