Hi dear visitor! My name is Taher. I am a registered medical practitioner hailing from Mumbai, India. I completed my medical studies from my home city, and qualified as a Paediatrician in 1986. I put my skills to practice as a private practitioner in General Paediatrics and worked as a consultant for over 25 years. In April 2011, I appeared for and was selected for a job in KSA (Saudi Arabia) in an interview. I moved to KSA in November that year and worked as a specialist Paediatrician from then until the end of September 2015. The four years in a rural small hospital in KSA allowed me a lot of time to reflect, study, exercise, and so on. KSA also gave me time to clear my Membership exams for the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. I completed this qualification by appearing for the final part in January 2015, and received my certificate in May.
Earlier in 2015, I was due to attempt an exit from KSA and join a medical center in UAE; however, this job did not materialize due to issues with the company and my proposed joining the job much later after the selection process was completed (which was in November 2014).Later, we learned that one of the owners of the group (which has other businesses as well in UAE) had absconded with a huge cache of money (heard variously as between 100-500 million dirhams!!)
This led me to think positively about using my newly acquired approved post-graduate certification, the MRCPCH. I therefore registered on a UK website which provides job-related linkages. One of the brokerages found me a locum registrar's job in Blackpool. I appeared for a Skype interview, and was selected straightaway! This opened my path to UK. After this, there were a number of hurdles, but all in all, I managed to surmount all of them, and finally, as I write this, I have booked my flight to Manchester for the middle of the present month. I am excited at the prospect of working in UK - a dream destination for nearly everyone, whether it is for work, or pleasure, stay, or visit.
This then, is my background. I am planning to use this blog to share my experiences, talk about life in the United Kingdom, show you places through photographs and text, and perhaps even video, and finally, to engage in a conversation with you all, so that when we finally begin to interact, we would have found friends in each other.
