Profile statement
I am a consultant hip and knee surgeon at NHS Tayside, since January 2007. I have benefited from mentorship myself to help shape change in my practice and approach towards a challenging work environment. I am one of few international medical graduates that trained in Orthopaedics in a different country and work in Scotland. I have supported colleagues in difficulty. Happy to mentor via zoom or in person if local.
