We are pleased to announce that Dr Taqua Dahab, a ICM/AIM/GIM trainee from Liverpool University Hospital Foundation Trust, has been successfully elected as our Deputy Intensivist in Training Representative. We hope you will join us in congratulating and welcoming them to the Faculty!
Taqua will officially start her term of office at our Board meeting on the 15 January 2025.
Their election statement was as follows:
Dr Taqua Dahab - Liverpool University Hospital Foundation Trust (Aintree)
I am an ST8 in ICM/AIM/GIM in Liverpool. Previously represented my colleagues in many National and Regional leadership roles, with successful multi-award-winning projects addressing trainees’ issues in training. As a current member of the FICM StRs Committee and IMGs Rep, I have successfully collaborated with FICM to address trainees’ issues, including producing guidance to support IMGs and Trainers in their first year of ICM in the UK.
If elected, my priorities are
- Be your vocal voice at this critical time of the medical workforce crisis
- Advocating for flexibility in rotations
- Supporting the introduction of POCUS into the ICM curriculum to align with global standards
- Improve your experience with FFICM exams
- Tackling Differential Attainment (DA) by promoting Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion, with a focus on improving outcomes in exams, ARCPs, and training satisfaction, for individuals with protected characteristics
I hope to make your voice at the FICM board heard to shape a high-quality agile training, while celebrating your diversity, to make the future UK College of ICM the best training body in the world!
Outside of work, I enjoy theatre, charity work for animal welfare, and a keen football fan (even if you’re not Red, I will still represent you well!)
