I once got Saturday detention for playing cards with money (I bet 2 pence on a game!)What's the best thing you've done in your career?
Apart from helping patients, I loved completing a medical education degree and won first prize in an international conference with my colleges on a education research project. The prize was handed over by Dame Esther Rantzen who I had grown up watching on TV.
What or who inspired you to do your job?
I met Mother Theresa at her home in Calcutta when I was at school, and she asked me to be in a profession where I could help others, so I’ve always wanted to be a doctor after that.
If you weren't in healthcare, what job would you do?
I love the idea of owning a restaurant or bar. I’ve completed a MBA so would like to put my business knowledge to good use.
