About Dr Jane
I am a diligent and capable doctor with excellent written and verbal communication skills. I am resourceful and able to work independently, yet I recognise when to seek advice in order to protect my patient’s best interests.
I have a wide general medical knowledge, and am particularly interested in preventative health, women’s health, paediatrics and dermatology. I am looking for a position that will challenge me to learn more and further develop my skills. I can offer my reliability, enthusiasm, and ability to adapt quickly to new situations.
