She is passionate about preventive medicine. Family medicine is key to a healthcare system, as it can address any patient issue with the right treatment/advice/investigations/onward referral to the correct specialist/ co ordinating care/follow up

She is a consultant family medicine, certified by the General medical Council UK and a member of Royal College of General Practitioners London. After her bachelor qualification in 2002 she has practiced in the National Health Service in the UK hospitals in various specialties to compliment the General/family physician training until completing training and achieving MRCGP in 2011. She practiced as. Family physician in the UK for 8 years before moving to Dubai, however she still maintain her full UK license and return to work multiple times a year.
