Managerial Skills and Positions of Responsibility

Current

 

07/2020 on      Royal College of Surgery Lead Unit Training Director/College Tutor for Basildon Hospital:                              Following developing the education of surgical trainees at Basildon, I was competitively                                    appointed as Lead UTD/College Tutor.

                         

01/2020 on      Lead for Emergency Surgery & Ambulatory Surgical Care at Basildon Hospital: I have                                      continued to develop Emergency Department/SDEC/SATU pathways for surgery. I am also                                involved in re-structuring the surgical departmental services for improved patient safety,                                    effectiveness and experience.

 

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.

 

2019 on           Championing the Enhanced Recovery Program at BTUH. Having previously implemented                                this on my fellowship, I am now working to formalise its implementation and training for all                              staff members involved through close working with multidisciplinary specialities at Basildon                            Hospital.

 

2019 on           Surgical Consultant Member for Diabetic Committee for Surgery. 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.
