CICI JIN Moreton Hall Student Lead MORETON HALL SPEAKER PROFILES DR MICHELE MOHAJER Dr Michele Mohajer is a Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust. She will talk about her specialism of which she says: “O&G satisfies the altruistic needs I wanted my career to fulfil. There is a lot of counselling involved in this specialty, particularly when it comes to prenatal diagnosis and ultrasound scanning. I have to talk through many issues and problems with my patients and really listen to their concerns. The other main reason why I find O&G so enjoyable is the practical side. It is a lovely combination of all aspects of medical training – surgery, medicine, imaging and counselling. But best of all is that we still use and rely on our hands to tell us what’s going on.” CHARLOTTE TUNSTALL Charlotte studied Medicine at Leicester-Warwick Medical School and since 2012 has been part of the Stoke / Oswestry PAGE 8 PAGE Orthopaedic training programme.
