Acute Medicine SCE

I’m a Diabetes and Endocrinology Consultant at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital and an Honorary Consultant Endocrinologist at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff.

I completed my graduation and post-graduation (MD Medicine) at the University of Delhi with a thesis on thyroid dysfunction. Following this, I had the opportunity to research neuroendocrine tumours, for which I was awarded an MD from Cardiff University. For this research, I won prizes at the European Neuroendocrine Tumour Society (2009), the UK & Ireland Neuroendocrine Tumour Society (2008) and the British Endocrine Society (2009 and 2011 respectively) annual meetings.

I’m the editor of ‘Best of Five MCQs for the Endocrinology and Diabetes SCE’ published in February 2015, which remains one of the most widely read books by diabetes and endocrinology trainees in the UK. I have also published editorials/articles in peer-reviewed journals, and contributed to book chapters on neuroendocrine tumours, thyroid and parathyroid disorders in various textbooks.

I work as a Consultant in Diabetes, Endocrinology and Acute Medicine at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff. Apart from providing specialist care to patients with diabetes and endocrine conditions, I am also involved in research and teaching activities. My clinical and research interests include thyroid disease, obesity, diabetes mellitus type 2, and pituitary disease.

During my specialty training, I received the Lewis Thomas Gibbon Jenkins Fellowship by RCP Wales to complete research on circulating extracellular vesicles in human obesity, for which I was awarded an MD from Cardiff University.

I am a committee member of the Young Diabetologist and Endocrinologist Forum Wales, and in 2020, I was awarded the SfE Leadership and Development Clinician in Practice Award.

Aside from my consultancy position, I have a keen interest in medical education and act as a tutor on the Postgraduate Diploma course in Acute Medicine at the University of South Wales.

I qualified as a Renal Consultant with a special interest in diabetes and renal replacement therapies. I am honoured to hold fellowships in Renal Medicine from both Pakistan (FCPS) and the United Kingdom (MRCP).

I currently work as the Medical Director and Head of Nephrology Services at Bahria Town International Hospitals, Lahore. I have held these posts since December 2014 when I moved back to Pakistan after working at the Royal London Hospital UK as a Kidney Research and Clinical Scholar.

I’m a Clinical Senior Lecturer and Consultant Physician for Diabetes and Endocrinology at Cardiff University and the University Hospital of Wales. I am on the Society for Endocrinology Clinical Committee and am also a Co-convenor of the SfE Thyroid Network, and was recently appointed to the 2020 SfE Leadership and Development Awards program.

I have received awards at both national and international conferences for my work and have over 50 publications including key publications in JAMA, Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology and Nature Communications.

I’m a Consultant in Acute Medicine, Diabetes and Endocrinology at Bedford Hospital NHS Trust, Bedford.

I graduated from the University of Delhi in 1993, and undertook my specialist training in the Eastern Deanery (Cambridge rotation). During my career, I have worked at professorial units at Addenbrooke's Hospital; Cambridge, Luton and Dunstable Hospital; and QE2 Hospital in Welwyn Garden City.

My clinical practice includes the management of a wide range of endocrine disorders including type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypoglycaemia, insulin pumps, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal disorders, electrolyte disturbances, osteoporosis and general internal medical conditions.
