Need a Career Advice?
Get your career on track
We all have times in our career when we need someone to listen and give us advice. Do you have too many projects to juggle? Are struggling to start project and do not know where to start? need CV development advice? or you trying to portray the right image at work? Whatever you need advice about, you can now book an online consultation with me.
Having worked as a registrar in both general paediatrics and paediatric cardiology, I have had the pleasure to mentor and support a number of SHOs and registrars in their training. The mentoring I provide comes in many forms and depends on why you have chosen to book a consultation. It can be advisory, directive or therapeutic or a combination of the three. Working in today's NHS is extremely stressful with growing demands from the service whilst also trying to develop your CV and maintain a healthy work life balance to avoid burnout.
Benefits of a career consultation
- Direction in career development
- Avoiding following projects with no outcome
- Saving time in getting the right advice from the beginning
- Developing strategies in completing tasks whilst managing life at home
- Having a consistent point of contact
- Have someone to discuss problems at work and find solutions to move forward
- To gain clarity in confusing situations
Do you need a career consultation?
I admit, not everyone needs to book a career consultation. Some trainees are able to navigate through training on their own. However, think back on how impactful some individuals have been on your personal journey as a doctor. The nuggets of advice and insight you have gained along the way and the positive effect that has had you. Do you lose focus on projects or really want to start QI initiatives or write papers but never know where to start? Do you get involved in too many things and never complete anything? Maybe you work in a place where you feel you can’t ask and that you would like to do more than the ward work? If any of these questions apply to you then maybe you could benefit from me as an advisor.
Cost
Each online consultation lasts for two hours to allow you to express yourself and give amble time to discuss how we can overcome any problems you may be facing. The cost is £180 per session

Umar has been an amazing mentor and has been shaping my career over the last few years. He has a very special skill set and is gifted with the ability of recognizing and polishing the strengths of his mentees. Even with his busy work commitments he makes sure to check up on his mentees and ensures they are on track for their progress. His far sightedness and planning has always kept me on track towards achieveing my career goals. Umar is always approachable and I feel much more relaxed and in control of things once i know I have run them past Umar as he always has the right advice to give according to the situation.
Apart from always being there for guidance, Umar has also helped me in writing my important application forms ensuring that the content matches the shortlisting criteria. The effort he puts into writing these forms and career planning is second to none. I am very happy, satisfied and feel lucky to have Umar to seek advice from and hope to stay under his mentorship in the future as well.
