Teaching

Mr Goldie Khera is an Honorary Clinical Senior lecturer at Brighton and Sussex Medical School and at Imperial College London Medical School.

"This is definitely the most valuable concise learning experience I have had in a clinical environment. It would be particularly useful around revision periods and over lunch time, where I except demand would be high for concise learning experiences. Also timing schedules is great and means you can work a morning and afternoon around the session. Loved it! Thank you Mr Khera for your wonderful teaching and time."
