Dr Aamena Salar
GPwSI Gynaecology, Birmingham
I have to be really honest, I completed my GP training and wanted to specialise in Cardiology!? However, in our area there was a desperate need for doctors to provide contraception services. I decided to complete my FSRH and DRCOG training as a GP registrar and started providing LARC clinics for our practice. I soon became the ‘go to person’ for women’s health. I decided that in order to fulfil that role I need to be credible so I embarked on the Community Gynaecology diploma from Bradford University. As soon as I finished that I realised I had a bad case of diploma-iitis and went on to complete the Diploma in Diagnostic Hysteroscopy.
Somewhere in that journey I developed a real passion for Women’s Health. It was quite apparent to me that I could make a difference to the women under my care and it propelled me to do more.
I was fortunate to land the opportunity to pilot my own Gynaecology service via the Vanguard 5 year Forward Plan project. I was given a blank sheet, business and finance manager and told to build a service for my patients. Ten years on that service is still running and I have had the further fortune to train other GPs and Nurses to join the team.
