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. That institute was a partnership between all NHS trusts in Essex together with the University. Services provided by the PMI became the nucleus for establishing the current School of Medicine at Anglia Ruskin University.
Since 2012, Dr Hassani has provided peri-operative anaesthetic care for surgical patients for a variety of settings. He believes in customised and patient-focused care
