TEXTBOOKS:
Global HIV/AIDS: Management & Prevention“Within Different Cultural Environments”
The textbook will be written by a number of leading authors across the world who will be invited by the Editors of the book: Dr Saleh El-Gadi, Consultant Physician in HIV/STIs, Homerton Hospital, London and Professor Brian Gazzard, Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, London.
This book will provide a comprehensive guide to cover the key global issues in the management of HIV/AIDS. The book is targeted at medical and public healthcare professionals providing care for patients in resource poor settings as well as those in resource rich settings having to care for immigrant populations. There is emphasis on religion and cultural sensitivities around the issue of HIV/AIDS. The book is envisaged to be a practical guide with sufficient theoretical background intended to provide understanding and solutions to a range of problems facing those involved in the management of patients, monitoring and prevention of the epidemic. It will be designed in a textbook format with figures, tables, charts and photographs where necessary. It will be user friendly, academic and authoritative in appearance.
The book will be around 1000 pages and is divided in 6 sections and 42 chapters, each of which has been carefully planned. The authors within each section represent some of the most eminent names not only in the field of HIV and AIDS but also leading representatives of various religions and cultures which are dealing with issues relating to the condition.
The book is currently being commissioned and is expected to be published in the autumn of 2008.
RESEARCH:
Homerton University Hospital is a teaching Hospital. Historically Homerton used to be part of St Bartholomew’s Hospital and still maintains close links with St Barts and the Royal London Hospital. A research centre was established in the Department of Sexual at Homerton in 2003 with the appointment of Senior Lecturer and three research nurses and research fellow.
I collaborate with Kings College and currently supervise MPH Postgraduate Students on the following studies/Dissertations:
• Assessment of the length of stay at the Acute Care Unit at Homerton University Hospital
• Assessment of Sick Leave of the staff following the introduction of Absence Line at Homerton University Hospital
• Assessment of the Impact of No Smoking Legislation in Hospitals on Staff and Visitors at Homerton University Hospital.
I collaborate with the National Infection Control Centre and the National AIDS Programme in Libya on the following studies:
• National Seroprevalence of HIV, HBV & HBC: undertaken during-2005. 65.340 were recruited from cross section of the Libyan population.
• The Seroprevalence of HIV, HBV, and HCV, among pregnant women in Tripoli Public Teaching Hospitals - Libya (2003-2006)
• Knowledge, Attitude, Beliefs and Practice Survey (KABPS) among High School Students: undertaken during 2004-2005. 4000 students were recruited from five cities in the North West of Libya.
• KABPS Survey among Women Sex Workers: undertaken during 2005. 60 sex workers were recruited from Tripoli.
• KABPS Survey among MSM: undertaken during 2005. 80 men who have sex with men were recruited from Tripoli.
For all these studies Data is analysed by a computer statistical package (SPSS) using descriptive and inferential statistics.
• I regularly supervise MPH/MSc students for their research projects from Kings College and the City University.
• Large number of studies is always being undertaken at the Department.
• Throughout my career, I always took part in several multi-centre studies.
