I initiated my career with a BSc degree in Physiology/Pharmacology at University College London for which I was awarded a 1st Class Honours. Following on, I completed my undergraduate medical training at Guy’s, King’s & St. Thomas’ School of Medicine, London in 2004. After completing my junior medical training as a doctor, I obtained membership of the Royal College of Physicians in 2007. Subsequently, I was appointed as a Specialist training registrar in cardiology and have completed 5 years of specialist training in London with sub-specialisation in advanced echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). I obtained Certificate of specialist training in Cardiology and General (internal) Medicine in October 2016. I have level III accreditation in CMR (EACVI) and also accredited in echocardiography by the British Society of Echocardiography. I completed 3 years PhD research training involving echocardiography and inherited cardiac diseases. I won several awards and prizes for my research including the Hinchliffe Award for the most successful CRY research fellow of the year. After completing my PhD and specialist training, I embarked on a 12 month fellowship training in cardiac MRI at Royal Brompton Hospital and subsequently worked as a Consultant Cardiologist in the unit. I currently works as a Consultant Cardiologist at Lister Hospital, Hertfordshire and continues my CMR work at the Brompton Hospital. I am also the Deputy Editor and in charge of training for the EHJ-Case Reports. I was an active member of the CRY pre-participation screening programme in athletes for the English Institute of Sport, Lawn Tennis Association, Premier Football League and Rugby Union. I have successfully published my work on mechanisms in Left ventricular Hypertrabeculation in Circulation journal. My other peer-reviewed publications include work relating to Left ventricular hypertrabeculation in Athletes published in Heart, and ECG guidelines in athletes, published in European Heart Journal. I recently co-authored a land-mark study on cardiac screening in adolescent athletes in the NEJM. I have also presented in several plenary sessions at the ESC, EuroPrevent and ACC.
