"Dr Ratneswaran was undoubtedly the best FY2 trainee we have ever had and if I would like to summarise his professional profile, I would say that Dr Ratneswaran is a man of action and innovation and he is a unique blend of an excellent young clinician, researcher and academic, which will secure him a very bright future."

Dr Borka Ceranic
 
Consultant Physician

"Deeban's teaching has received outstanding feedback. He is extremely enthusiastic about innovation, its evaluation and implementation. He has designed, delivered and assessed some innovative inter-professional learning which has received excellent feedback. Deeban is exceptionally motivated, self-driven and consistently shows initiative in his work. Whilst he is very able in driving a project forward, he is also sensitive and receptive to colleagues and suggestions in achieving a shared objective. He is always keen to learn and acquire new skills; and, actively seeks feedback to improve himself. Dr Ratneswaran is very much liked within our group. He is extremely enthusiastic and collaborative in his approach; and, is always happy to offer his help and to share his ideas, skills and knowledge with colleagues, peers and students. Dr Ratneswaran is an outstanding trainee who has demonstrated an extensive range of talents relevant to research. Aside from this, he has been a joy to work with and supervise; and, would be a strong asset and a team member within any research group."

"Deeban is already a well-respected and talented junior doctor. He has impressed everybody with the efforts he has made to further medical education and has set up and taught on multiple regional teaching courses which have taken place on the Guy's Campus through the King's College Surgical Society, and also 8 week long local courses, three times throughout the year at Medway. His latest course, specifically aimed at final year medical students, was fully booked within 20 minutes of bookings opening online! (220 seats) Deeban had also been nominated many times for a Teaching Excellence Award which I believe are administered through King's College London, and had received an email from the Dean of Undergraduate Medicine at King's College London commending him on his teaching efforts! This reflects the scale of what he has achieved in his first year as a junior doctor."

"Deeban has a rare set of talents that anyone will come by in the blockchain industry - strong technical diligence, deep rooted network, and leadership. His knowledge of the space allows him to have a clear vision, and the ability to guide founders on their path to success. I've been lucky to work with him, and if you see him involved in a project, that's a free Alpha to get involved!"

Student feedback

"I was at the Essential Medicine course weekend just gone. I'm emailing you but for the sole reason to say that honestly I think you were brilliant and possibly one of the best teachers I've come across. Learnt more in 2 days than I did in 2 years. What did you like the most? Deeban's bantz."

"Dr Deeban was extremely knowledgeable, energetic and enthusiastic despite having to teach such a heavy volume of content over the 2 days. The information was presented in a clear and concise manner with useful 'Top Tips' and learning tools given throughout. Very, very useful course."

"Enthusiasm of the tutor was excellent and never waned, which helped to maintain interest and attention - lots of useful ways to learn included such as mnemonics and hyperkalaemia dance. Thank you! A good recap of a lot of information in a short period of time. It was very obvious a lot of time and effort had gone into preparing the course and materials which aided engagement and learning. Thank you!"

"I travelled from leeds to come to the course because I heard how good it was from a friend, perhaps you could advertise to universities up north or advertise to PAs across the universities because it is definitely beneficial for our National Exam that we have to sit in September and our university exams. Brilliant course! really enjoyed today, thank you!"
