| DR EMRAN KHAN The Editor of the Diabetic was granted an in depth interview with Dr Khan. You can access his in depth profile on our website at www.diabetes.org.im
Dr Emran Khan Dr Emran Khan is the Consultant Physician, Diabetologist and Endocrinologist, at the Diabetes Centre at Noble’s Hospital. He came to the Island over two and a half years ago to look after the Island Diabetics and head the Manx Diabetes Centre. In his time on the Island Dr. Khan has helped organise an entirely new service in a new Dedicated Diabetes Centre at the old Noble’s hospital with a successful transfer to Greeba Ward at the new 120 million pound plus hospital at the Strang. At Greeba ward they hold three and a half clinics per week during which they see 70 patients per week, with six new referrals every week They run a full multi-disciplinary team. All new patients and those coming for their annual reviews are seen by the full disciplinary team, which includes, the Chiropodist, Dietician, Diabetes Specialist Nurse, and a Physician. This Dr Khan said was essential for the well being of the Diabetic patient. |
There is a fundus eye camera also on site. We have dealt with this and its modus operandi in our previous newsletter. Dr Khan also runs an antenatal clinic fortnightly and an adolescence clinic every three months. Glucose blood monitors and pens are provided free of charge to all diabetic patients. The Diabetes Centre also helps in the teaching and training of all medical staff both in the community and at Noble’s. They have regular teaching sessions in what Dr Khan describes as an excellent postgraduate teaching programme. Dr Khan also runs a General Endocrine clinic once a week. All this in addition to being on call in the wards. I did put it to him that the DHSS had made a good investment with him on the Island. What experience you might ask does this gentleman have to warrant his exalted position and why we should be grateful to him being on the Island. Dr Khan has a MBBS from the Khyber Medical Collage at the University of Peshawar in Pakistan. He also holds an MRCP from Edinburgh University and a GMC, General internal medicine and Diabetes and Endocrinology. Dr Khan told the Editor that he is also a member of the Royal College of Physicians Clinical Tutor. He has been associated with at least 6 publications and some five unpublished works. Dr Khan is married and has three young children.
