Dr Aimen Hassani (Al-Hassani)
Dr Hassani was appointed as a Consultant Anaesthetist at Broomfield Hospital in May 1996. Over the years he led in many aspects of training, education, research and clinical governance.
In 2007 he was seconded to Anglia Ruskin University to lead the project of establishing the Postgraduate Medical Institute (PMI) which opened its doors in 2011.
