For the last 3 years I worked at West Suffolk Hospital, Bury St Edmunds.

Experience :

I have around 14 years of Post MS Orthopaedics experience so far. I am currently working as a Consultant in Joint Replacement Department.

Most of my work includes Arthroplasty Surgeries, Knee Arthroscopy Surgeries and handles Trauma patients. I am working in Bharati Medical College as a Honorary Associate Professor and do teaching for students at UG and PG levels.

Courses :

I do chair Faculty positions at multiple courses and conferences including Arthroscopy, Joint replacements and Trauma. I am a member of organizing team conducting The Royal College of Surgeons Accredited Arthroplasty and Arthroscopy. Core Skills Courses at Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, Pune.

While in UK I did attend many courses including trauma, arthroplasty, and resurfacing, basic sciences, AO courses at Edinburgh, Leeds, Oxford, Cambridge and Nottingham locations.

Audits (UK) :

I did five clinical audits while in Doncaster and Bury St Edmunds in UK.

They did help to understand the problem areas and lead to change in hospital policy.

The topics covered were Humerus fracture, Tranexamic acid, use of synthetic bone in revision hip replacements, retransfusion of Patients own Blood.

Teaching Experience :

I have taught undergraduates, pre-registration house officers, senior house officers as well as Nursing & Physiotherapist during my postgraduate training.

Currently working at an Associate Professor level in Bharati Hospital.

I am involved in many cadaveric and saw bone training workshops for private practitioners.

Administrative Experience :

At Primary Health Centre service, I was involved with record keeping and completing government targets on family planning and vaccination. I did a Project about Nutrition through personal garden to achieve aim of Healthy Wellbeing. It turned out popular for school and panchayat visits. I scored ‘Grade A’ for my overall performance.
