Ishani Jayawardena

I am an extremely safe and competent clinician with a solid foundation in O&G clinical practice, having been the senior most clinician on after hours and nights ever since being a PHO. I am organised and extremely hardworking with exceptional documentation, planning and communication skills which assisted me greatly being a Senior Registrar. I pride myself on working collaboratively in multi-disciplinary teams. I am dedicated to maintaining educational excellence while being a supportive and approachable leader to my juniors.
