Achievements in Women’s Health

I really appreciate the small achievements with my patients from finally getting on top of their concerning symptoms/issues, feeling heard, and following their journey.
A patient sent me a touching letter on World Health Day after I diagnosed her with a rare condition that many others had missed for years.
A 16-year girl also sent me a letter thanking me for her successful progress with treatment after picking up a rare GI cancer. These are the personal moments I am most proud of.

I connect well with women, including children, adolescent and elderly. Spending time getting to know my patients is important to me, so I can address their concerns holistically and have continuous engagement to treat them through every age and stage of their life.

I am keen to continue my habits of frequent learning, updating my knowledge and growing my confidence as a practitioner so I am always providing my patients with the best care possible.
