Profile
I am a cardiology registrar with combined clinical and academic experiences and skills. My field of research is on frailty, malnutrition and co-morbidities in patients with heart failure. My MD focused on evaluating the prevalence and prognostic significance of frailty and malnutrition in different populations of patients with heart failure. This work led to my current work funded by the British Heart Foundation on developing and trialling a holistic patient-centred intervention to improve outcomes of older people living with frailty and chronic heart failure in a multi-centre setting.
