• Contribute to clinical audits, quality improvement initiatives, morbidity reviews, governance activities, and hospital policy development.
• Maintain accurate clinical documentation, consultation notes, antimicrobial recommendations, infection control records, and follow‑up plans.
• Support MOHAP licensing and UAE regulatory expectations where applicable for Sharjah‑based clinical service.
