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 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.
