Background

Omar is a Midlands boy through and through. He has lived in Brierley Hill near Stourbridge his whole life. He went to medical school at Warwick University before settling on Wolverhampton for his foundation years. He has recently got married and his wife is a solicitor.

Social Life

Omar's main passion in life is fast cars and describes himself as a 'car fanatic'. He is addicted to changing his car; he currently owns a BMW 4 Series but has an eye on switching to a new sportier car. He likes his cars 'fast, German and modern'. He has done several track days driving various fast cars including a Lamborghini Gallardo and an Alpha Romeo Quadrifoglio. He wants to try a track day with an Atom in the future.

Omar enjoys going to the cinema and spending time with his wife. He also likes going to the gym and squash when he has time. He hangs out with his friends who describe him as 'lazy', but Omar says it's just that he's very laid back. He used to go to Thai boxing, but has been too lazy for that lately.

Doctor Story

Omar applied for medical school, but didn't get in. He ended up doing a degree in Pharmacy and still wanted to be a doctor after he had finished his four years of studies. He applied again after his degree and then got in. As an F2, Omar had already been in surgery in the Urology department. He began his rotation in A&E in April 2017.

Omar needs to decide on his future specialism. He spent a short time in A&E as an F1 and enjoyed it and is now thinking about going in that direction long term. He knows as an F2 it will be a lot tougher, he will have to take on more responsibility and do much longer hours but he hopes the rotation will help him figure out if it's the career for him. Omar hopes one day to travel as a working doctor to Australia, the Middle East and North America.
