2019 on Championing the Criteria Lead Discharge for Surgical Patients at BTUH. Working in a multidisciplinary manner, I have devised a criteria lead discharge form for the safe expedited discharge of surgical patients. This aims to provide earlier safe discharge of in-patients allowing for reduced elective cancellation of cases, improved A&E discharge targets and have financial benefits to the Trust.

Following the JBDS – IP publication, I have been working to improve the care of diabetic surgical patients at BTUH in accordance with its guidelines at every stage of the patient pathway. This also includes ongoing training of doctors in the management of diabetic surgical patients.
2018 on Surgical Emergency (ED) & Ambulatory Pathways at Basildon & Thurrock Hospital. From July 2018, I have been tasked with and created a number of ambulatory pathways accepted for use throughout all Trust hospitals. This allow for increased bed capacity, earlier discharge, less elective cancellations and huge financial and target benefits. I also modified and created ED pathways for appropriate investigation, management and referral of surgical patients which also aids in meeting ED targets. These are currently ongoing projects.
2018 on Consultant Lead for the Surgical Junior Teaching Programme and Journal Club at BTUH. Surgical educational training was ‘red flagged’ in the last GMC survey and by the Deanery. I have successfully implemented a junior doctors training program in response to this that includes Registrar involvement. The success through formal feedback has opened training opportunities to all doctors at BTUH.
2016 on Company Director for Academy Central (Pembroke) RTM Company LTD. I have negotiated and initiated changes in management companies for the running of a 38 unit block of apartments. I ensure ongoing management is economically cost effective, legal requirements are met and best services and value for money are gained.
