She was first appointed as Consultant in Respiratory and General Medicine at West Hertfordshire NHS Trust in 2017. Here, she was the Lead for Ventilation. Within a year she had gained approval to create and run an Acute Respiratory Care Unit, an 8 bedded Respiratory HDU. This unit allowed her to shape the Trust’s policy and response to COVID in early 2020. She has also run numerous QI projects to improve care of patients receiving Non Invasive Ventilation, which have been recognised by the British Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society.
Alongside her role as a Consultant Physician, she is a MRCP PACES examiner and has hosted examinations herself, on behalf of the Royal College of Physicians.
