• Research Supervisor: Guides theses, IRB approvals, and departmental publications (37+ peer-reviewed papers).
• Community Outreach: Organizes ENT awareness camps, thyroid/voice screening, and public health events.

SOP Map

• Rhinology/FESS: Post-op debridement pathway updated (2025) → saline irrigation + day-7 endoscopy.
• Septoplasty/Turbinoplasty: Updated to absorbable packs for low-risk patients.
• Otology: Standardized 7–10 day pre-op ear toilet protocol.
• Voice/Laryngology: Early referral for hoarseness >3 weeks added (2024).
• Thyroid/Neck: FNAC-first triage pathway with calcium/RLN monitoring (2025).

Policy & Governance Contributions

• Antibiotic Stewardship: Introduced peri-op prophylaxis checklist → reduced broad-spectrum use.
• Surgical Safety: Implemented ENT-specific “Time-Out” + sign-off → fewer OT cancellations.
• Consent: Procedure-specific consent forms (FESS, thyroid, tympanoplasty) → fewer disputes.
• Data Privacy: Secure endoscopy image storage aligned with hospital IT and patient safety policies.

Audit → Action Case Studies

• FESS: Synechiae rate ↓ from 12% to 8% after saline coaching + early debridement.
• Tympanoplasty: Graft success ↑ from 85% to 90–92% after strict pre-op ear dry protocol.
• Tonsillectomy: Secondary bleed ↓ from 3% to 1–2% with improved analgesia & patient leaflet.
• Thyroidectomy: RLN palsy reduced from 5% → 3–4% with nerve monitoring and careful technique.

Risk & Incident Response Framework

• Epistaxis: Immediate packing/cautery; logged in ER + OT reports → reviewed in M&M.
• RLN Injury: Voice check, laryngoscopy, endocrine monitoring → MDT review.
• Ear Surgery Dizziness: Managed with fluids & vestibular care; logged if prolonged.
• Medication Error: Duty of candour, IR1 incident report, corrective audit → safety reinforcement.

Resource & OT Management

• Weekly OT blocks with ENT priority days.
• Preventive maintenance logs for endoscopes, microdebriders, stroboscopes.
• Consumables stocked with min/max par levels.
• Leave planning mandated 30 days ahead for continuity.

MDT Meetings

• Thyroid/Head-Neck MDT: Weekly/bi-weekly with ENT, radiology, pathology, endocrine, oncology.
• Voice Clinic: Monthly sessions with ENT + speech therapy.
  Outputs: staged treatment plans, surgical candidacy decisions, therapy pathways.

Patient Communication & Leaflets

• Post-FESS Care: Saline irrigation, follow-up schedule.
• Post-Tonsillectomy: Pain control, bleed precautions (Day 5–10).
• Ear-Dry Protocol: Protection after tympanoplasty.
• Thyroid Surgery: Calcium symptoms & voice change monitoring.

Future Goals & Ongoing Projects

One-Year OKRs (2025)

1. Elevate post-FESS outcomes → Synechiae ≤8%, readmits ≤1.5%, ≥95% saline + day-7 compliance.
2. Strengthen thyroid cancer pathway → FNAC ≤72h, MDT 100%, RLN palsy ≤1%.
3. Improve hearing rehabilitation → ≥70% uptake of hearing aids; fitting ≤21 days.
4. Expand education & research → ≥2 audits/quarter, ≥6 PG theses, ≥4 indexed papers.
5. Enhance patient access & experience → ≥90% satisfaction, ≤10% no-shows (SMS), ≤25 min wait.

Active Projects

1. Post-FESS Care Optimization v3.1 – SOP refresh, nurse education, saline supply buffer → patient recovery faster, ER returns reduced.
2. Thyroid Pathway Acceleration – One-stop FNAC-first clinic with ENT + Endocrine + USG → fewer visits, earlier cancer diagnosis.
3. Presbycusis QoL Program (Audiology+) – Counseling scripts, demo days, PROM tracking → higher device adoption, better communication outcomes.
4. ENT Education & Audit Engine – DOPS tracker + Quality Dashboard → structured training, transparent audits.
5. OPD Flow & Experience – SMS reminders, triage role, QR surveys → reduced wait, higher patient satisfaction.

Roadmap

1. FESS SOP launch, thyroid pathway mapped, Audiology+ vendor day, SMS system live.
2. FESS staff training + audit, thyroid pilot running, first QoL report, education dashboard v1.
3. Mid-cycle audits (FESS/thyroid/audiology), OPD wait-time analysis, 2 PG theses mid-defense.
4. FESS re-audit, thyroid pilot review, full-year QoL data, ≥4 publications submitted.

Core Metrics

• Synechiae% (FESS) → target ≤8%
• FNAC TAT (hrs) → ≤72h
• Permanent RLN palsy% → ≤1%
• Hearing aid uptake% → ≥70%
• Median OPD wait (minutes) → ≤25
• Patient satisfaction (≥4/5) → ≥90%
• DOPS per resident/year → ≥12

Risk Register (Key)

• Clinic overload: mitigate with staggered slots & triage nurse.
• FNAC delays: reserve pathology slots, escalate weekly.
• Stockouts: min/max inventory control.
• Patient non-adherence (saline, HA use): SMS reminders, follow-up calls.

Publication Pipeline

• Presbycusis QoL audit → Audiology journal (Q4).
• FESS adhesion reduction → ENT quality journal (post re-audit).
• Thyroid one-stop pathway → Endocrine/ENT journal (6–9 months).
