She will work with the head of department Professor P M Venkata-Sai and his colleagues to develop a teaching and training programme. This will include research, curriculum development for the fellowship programme conducted by the department and contributing to faculty development and breast education.
“It is a privilege and honour to be appointed to this role and to share the clinical expertise and training programmes being developed by the NBIA in the UK with our international colleagues,” said Dr Gadde, a consultant at the Nightingale Centre at Wythenshawe Hospital, part of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.

We are proud you are one of the visiting faculty of our department.”
