My Journey
From medical student
to doctor, researcher and educator.
I studied medicine (MBBS) at Newcastle University. Between 2011-2012 I undertook a Masters Degree (MRes) in Ageing and Health.
I won a Kennedy Scholarship to attend Harvard University.
I worked as a 'junior doctor' in Peterborough and Cambridge and had jobs in medicine, surgery and psychiatry.
I undertook my PhD at the University of Oxford in Digital Education. I did my fieldwork in Uganda.
I moved back to Newcastle to undertake higher clinical training in family medicine (GP).
I reached 100,000 subscribers and 30 million views on YouTube.
I am currently Senior Director of Research at a leading global health organisation, Technical Advisor at the World Health Organization and an Assistant Clinical Professor at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.
