I did my nursing studies in south India and came to UK with such rich experience. I worked as a ward nurse in general surgery and gender reassignment, Scrub nurse and then as a critical care nurse. I was always fascinated the way questions were answered to most critical patient care decisions and improving care and patient outcome. This was my driving force behind joining research team.
I have a background of 14 years in Critical Care Nursing and Emergency Nursing, having worked in Trinidad and Tobago for 3 years, then moved to the United Kingdom to gain more experience. In the UK I worked at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital and at The Royal London Hospital where I progressed to the role of Intensive Care Sister. I have gradually developed an interest in how research was being conducted to improve patient outcomes and the delivery of care. I have now decided to join the CCPMG team and have commenced working with us in February 2022.
With a medical background and inclination towards research, I have worked and evolved as a researcher through 15 years of experience in India.

I am proud to be a part of the CCPMG team, and the research offices, which is extremely rich and busy with ambitious research projects! I am keen about ‘research governance’ and ‘participatory research methods’. I enjoy and strongly believe that engaging and having sites, patients and stakeholders participate in research make it a success!
