Discover Dr Attanayake’s journey from studying MSc Sports and Exercise Medicine in London to Chief Medical Officer to the Sri Lankan cricket team.
“I chose Queen Mary for its teaching excellence and global reputation... Clinics around London were the most enjoyable aspects of my degree as they involved testing someone’s physical fitness according to their age, gender and level of involvement in sports etc. This was very beneficial to my later work as a team physician.
I have been the Team Physician to National Hockey and Netball teams and the Contingent Doctor for the Commonwealth Games 2018 in Australia.
I am currently working as the Chief Medical Officer to the Sri Lanka Cricket team and as the medical representative to the International Cricket Council from Sri Lanka.”
