To this end I have achieved The UK – Comprehensive Clinical Research Network (UK-CCRN) Prestigious Award- National Portfolio study and The National Institute of Health Academic Fellowship (NIHR).
I have completed all four cycles of the European Board of Neuroradiology and successfully passed all the written and oral examinations which has led to achievement of the EDINR (European Diploma in Neuroradiology). The EDINR is a measure of excellence, which certifies that the holder has a level of knowledge and competence in line with the requirements of the European Board of Neuroradiology (EBNR[1]).I have been awarded a number of academic prizes and distinctions including medical school “gold medal in basic sciences” also medical school “gold medal in clinical knowledge”. These have provided me with a sound foundation in medicine.

I have also been reporting neonatal, paediatrics and adult neuroradiology cases as neuroradiology fellow and as consultant neuroradiologist in accredited tertiary specialised neuroradiology centres for about 10 years. I have reported multiple scans related to medico legal purposes.
