Experience: Clinical Practice

·         Following Graduation from Salahaddin university Hospital in Iraq in 1989, did my internship in Surgery and Medicine in Kirkuk

Before working in Obs/ Gyn, I worked as a Primary General Practioner in Iraq. It was a clinical and administrative Job equivalent to joint GP and Community Medicine in Ireland. I was in charge of training the health teams and attended four advanced courses in training the trainees.  I was awarded many Thank you letters for achieving my Job in the best interests of the patient.

When I worked in Obs/Gyn I worked in a different hospital including Saddam Teaching Hospital (Azade, and Rizgare) new names for same Hospitals which conduct about 15000 deliveries per year. It was a demanding job in view of  the heavy work load, dealing with multinational & multilingual people. As a result I have got the high threshold of work and developed good communication skills with patients and colleagues. This helped me become fluent in English, Arabic, Turkish and Kurdish.

In Ireland,

·         I completed the Diploma in gynaecology and obstetrics in 2001.

·         My first post in Ireland was in June 2002 at the Rotunda Hospital
