Malcolm Gajraj – Consultant in Paediatric Intensive Care

My name is Malcolm Gajraj and I am a Consultant in Paediatric Intensive Care

This means…

You might meet me at the hospital because you or a relation is very unwell.

I love my job because. . .

Most of the children I look after get better, when without the help from my department they would probably have died. It involves working with many other people and it is great to share that feeling with everyone working together to make that happen.

I will help you. . .
