ResearchI have been constantly involved in clinical research since 1995, which has resulted in a fewpresentations (both oral & poster) at national & international meetings.

Several trainees have learnt the basicprinciples of research, which includes data collection, project design, analysis andpresentation. The minutes were recorded and distributed. Since 2006 we have completed &presented over twenty projects leading to oral & poster presentations at prestigiousnational & international scientific meetings. The abstracts were also published in majorpeer reviewed journals. A few papers were also published.Journal ReviewI have been reviewing manuscripts Since 2006 for- Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England- World Journal of SurgeryTeaching ExperienceI have a special interest in teaching & I take every opportunity to involve myself in teachingprogrammes involving medical students & foundation years, core surgical trainees andSpR’s

I have been actively involved since 2001 in teaching on the basic surgical skills, MRCS &Laparoscopic Core skills courses. I have also been actively involved in developing twocourses at the Royal college of Surgeons in London.

Laparoscopic Core skills (3 days)A three-day programme which was developed for the Royal college of Surgeonsof England, London. I organised the first Pilot programme in UHNS, Stoke onTrent to cost the course in 2006, which was later rolled out across England &Wales. Laparoscopic Anastomosis Course (Intermediate) - 2-day courseThis course was designed to teach Laparoscopic suturing & intestinalanastomosis for Specialist Registrars. I organised this course for the SpR’s inWest-midlands, where they performed Laparoscopic Gastro-jejunal & smallbowel anastomosis both with suturing and stapling techniques. This wasarranged with industry and University Hospital support without any fees for ourtrainees in the region. Bariatric CourseI convened for the first National Bariatric course along with another surgeon fortrainees & consultant surgeons in the Royal College of Surgeons in London InSeptember 2009. I was actively involved in the design & developmental processof this 2-day Bariatric essential course.We organised the second course in April 2010 in RCS London.

Laparoscopic Skills Lab EstablishmentIn 2007 I established the Laparoscopic Skills Lab with Eight Lap Stack systems and themonies were raised from the above courses. I conducted in Stoke-on-Trent along with helpfrom industry & colleagues.My experience in teaching & training since 2001 has helped me to understand the needs,the aims, the content and the structure of surgical course design. I have developed trainingexercises & methods taking into account the application of clinical operative skills intosimulated activity. This experience has enabled me to design & develop new courses inStoke-on-Trent, one of which is being delivered nationally in 2009 in the fields ofLaparoscopic & Bariatric surgery.National2007 - 2010 – National Council member ALS (Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons)
