Prior to this, he completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Sciences and also a Masters in Global Health and Development at University College London.
Dr Priyesh developed a keen interest in exploring the illegal practices of FGM, also known as female genital mutilation, the ritual cutting or removal of some or all of the external female genitalia and has travelled the world to present projects relating to this. He has presented at numerous healthcare conferences on this issue.
Alongside this, Dr Priyesh has travelled around Europe as a Humanitarian Aid worker providing healthcare to refugees, mainly in Greece. Outside of Medicine, he loves fitness, particularly boxing and track athletics. He is also very religious and spiritual.
