He has been a Haematology Fellowship examiner for the Royal College of Pathologists for 10 years. He is a faculty member for the Blood Academy course and author of Questions in Haemostasis and Thrombosis.

While his teaching focuses on benign haematology, second opinions are offered across all areas of haematology, for patients in India. He is registered with the General Medical Council (UK) and also holds registration with the Uttarakhand Medical Council (India). He teaches alongside a network of UK haematology colleagues who contribute to selected cases and to HaemAcademy's study days.

The HaemAcademy approach

Every session is built on three principles:

  • Case-based. We learn from real scenarios, not slides read aloud.
  • Pitched to you. Student, haematology trainee, FRCPath candidate or non-specialist — the level meets you where you are.
  • Practical. You leave with frameworks and notes you can use the next day.

All teaching is provided free of charge, so there's no barrier to getting started.

Our colleagues

A faculty, not a single voice

For selected complex cases and for study days, HaemAcademy draws on a group of UK-based haematology colleagues across subspecialty areas. Learners and referring clinicians benefit from more than one expert perspective on difficult questions.
