Dr Shahista S Begum

  • I am a dual-qualified doctor and dentist with extensive experience across clinical practice, education, and mentoring.

    I have worked across NHS and private practices in the UK and held senior and specialist roles internationally.

    Alongside my clinical career, I am a senior lecturer, university interviewer for medicine and dentistry, and former GMC PLAB examiner, giving me clear insight into what selectors look for in competitive applications.

    I have worked as a dental indemnity advisor and hold a Master’s degree in Healthcare Law. I have supported applicants, students, and early-career clinicians at pivotal stages of their journey, including UCAS preparation, postgraduate study, and during professional challenges.

    My approach is supportive, structured, and deeply personalised. I am passionate about helping individuals build confidence, clarity, and direction—and believe that, regardless of one’s background, the right guidance can make a lasting difference.
