Trained in Christian Medical college Vellore in India I qualified in 1991 as a doctor. The Alma mater of my medical college was to provide care and compassion in addition to providing excellent care and I have carried this throughout my career. I did my postgraduation MD in 1997 and MRCP in 2000. Having completed my specialist qualification in 2007 ( Diabetes and Endocrinology) I moved to Manchester and joined as a consultant in Diabetes and Endocrinology. With a passion for education, I teach medical students and hold sessions for users to create experts who manage their own condition  I am also involved in commercial and academic clinical trials.
