HERE'S THE PROOF
"I am truly grateful to Dr Jihad Malasi for his insightful mentorship and guidance as I navigate the early stages of my consultant psychiatrist career. His thoughtful advice on developing a balanced and fulfilling portfolio career, combining clinical excellence with teaching, leadership, and service development has been invaluable."

"I spoke to Jihad when I was at a cross-roads in my career, I have worked in clinical medicine for a long time but wanted to move on to an ICB leadership position.
The conversation with Jihad was the perfect mix of explorative and non-directive, and also informative and rich with suggestions, learning and ideas. He signposted me to some really key resources and bits of learning e.g. about the commissioning cycle which have since then been invaluable.
I am really pleased to say that after speaking to Jihad I was successful in being appointed as the ICP Clinical director for Children's services- a place based leadership position in an area I am passionate about- and I have really been enjoying and thriving in this role since."

"Jihad has been an excellent mentor and guide in helping me understand the various facets of global health. His insights into the different avenues within the field were incredibly valuable, particularly in showing me how to leverage both my South African clinical experience and my current work in Emergency Medicine in Ireland.
Through our conversations, he helped me clarify a core value of mine — the desire to make a positive impact on health systems. His thoughtful guidance and generous support have been instrumental in shaping how I consider the next steps in my career."

"When I qualified as GP, the transition felt daunting—new responsibilities, complex clinical decisions, and the overwhelming sense that I was just beginning to understand what it meant to be a GP.
It was during this time that I had the privilege of being mentored by Dr. Malasi who not only guided me clinically but also inspired me to think beyond the walls of the consultation room.
From the outset, he offered me genuine support, practical guidance, and the kind of encouragement that gives a new doctor the confidence to grow. He never gave me the answers outright, but instead equipped me with the tools to find them myself—instilling in me a mindset of reflection, curiosity, and continual learning.
What truly set him apart was his ability to see potential even before I could. He encouraged me to explore broader roles within primary care, ultimately leading me to apply for and secure a position as a Health Education England Fellow. That experience was transformative, expanding my leadership skills and my understanding of how we can influence healthcare systems to improve outcomes for patients and colleagues alike.
Today, I’m proud to serve as a GP partner in one of the best performing practices in Kent—a milestone I would not have reached without the foundational support of this exceptional mentor. His belief in me, coupled with his dedication to teaching and developing others, has had a lasting impact on my career and the kind of doctor I strive to be.
I’m deeply grateful for the time, wisdom, and genuine care he invested in my journey. His mentorship has not only shaped my path but continues to influence how I support and inspire others entering the profession."
