In conversation with Dr Nadeeja Koralage

Hang Up Your Superhero Cape

Quote of the day:

"It's really important to find work that gives you energy - for me that is learning, surrounded by people who really know what they are doing. I find that really inspiring and energising". Dr Nadeeja Koralage, 2022.

In this episode of Hang up your Superhero Cape I am speaking with a GP colleague who has maintained her joy in and enthusiasm for General Practice by developing a "Portfolio Career" from the beginning - a true inspiration!

Dr Nadeeja Koralage is a GP Partner in Harwich and Clinical Associate with the Primary Care Transformation Team at NHS England and Improvement. She completed GP training in 2020 after doing a fellowship in Leadership and Commissioning and being shortlisted for Pulse magazine's Rising Star Award.

With a background in Emergency Medicine and previous worked as a sexual offences examiner and also for a health tech start up company she is enthusiastic about General Practice and finds colleagues and patients alike energising. Nadeeja enjoys going to the theatre with friends, travel and her Peloton. She lives in Essex and has a 3 year old son.
