I have been appointed as the new SAS representative for the Faculty of Pain Medicine Training and Assessment Committee (FPMTAC). After graduating in 1992, I worked in some of the renowned hospitals in India in anaesthesia and intensive care. I moved to the UK in 2003 to improve my anaesthetic skills and knowledge.
I had my introduction to pain medicine in 2009. I enrolled myself for an MSc in pain management, and achieved a diploma in 2011 from Cardiff University. I went into a training post in 2013, but had to leave training for medical reasons. I continued working at Cardiff and Vale University Health Board as a fellow in regional anaesthesia, where my interest in acute pain started.
