See what past audiences, from university lecturers to primary school pupils, have thought of my work.
FROM HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE STUDENTS AT NEW CITY COLLEGE (JAN 2025)
What was the most important thing you learnt from Javed’s talk?
“The most important thing I learned was that you don’t give up on yourself”
“I learnt about the need for healthcare staff to support patients with feeling at ease and comfortable to speak to us. Very often we assume they would but really there needs to be more done to ensure people feel more at ease”
“To keep striving even if times get difficult”
“To be yourself and be kind to others”
How do you think Javed’s talk could help you in the future?
“Javed’s talk has really highlighted the importance of empowering patients to feel confidence in asking about their care or treatment and I will look for ways to promote this”
“Knowing when I need to let go and that it’s ok, I’m not a failure for not being able to do things that others can”
“Being aware of the individual patient need. The importance of expectation management and person centred care.”
“Increased awareness of barriers to accessing healthcare including lack of knowledge of what a GP can do/help you with.”

ENFIELD GP FEDERATION CONFERENCE (NOV 2022)
“Jav’s presentation is based on his patient relationship with our practice over the past year, in particular our reception manager and Dr Mownah. Meeting with Jav and listening to the struggles he has experienced with accessing NHS care over the years due to his disabilities, really inspired us to do better. The techniques discussed in Jav’s presentation will hopefully inspire other practices in the same way.”
“Thank you so much for sharing with us your story, Javed. It is so inspirational! Well done also to all the Oakwood Surgery staff for such an incredible work with Javed. I feel inspired and energised and have learnt a lot with such a great example of partnership between service user and service providers.”
“Thank you! Great presentation!”
