MEDIC MENTORSHIP
& SPECIALIST PORTFOLIO
CAREERS
ABOUT MEDICAL PORTFOLIO CAREERS
I specialise in providing expert facilitation, guidance and mentorship for early years medics, newly qualified doctors, GPs, pharmacists and any clinician who envisions a career beyond the ‘guard rails’.
My mission is to empower and support medics & professionals in navigating their career paths and achieving excellence and happiness in their chosen fields.
When I think about my career over 22 years, and all those years building up to medical school, the one thing I really should’ve sought out was a mentor. Someone who had been there done it and got the T-shirt, understood the nuances, pitfalls and choices, to draw a map of possibilities and potential futures.
My career has taken me on an adventure through general practice, psychiatry, commissioning, education, leadership, health economics and global health. I love what I do and wouldn’t changed it for the world. But what if I had had a strategic advisor, a trusted colleague, an honest mirror, a wise hand to steer me away from ‘tiger country’ ? Would I have got to my position faster, better, more effectively or with greater enjoyment ?

About Me
My name is Jihad Malasi
I trained in General Practice and Psychiatry, and am currently ICS Mental Health Clinical Lead & GP tutor. I’m a Committee Member @ NICE in the field of health economics and ‘Health Technology Assessments’ working on Med-Tech/Digital-Tech.
I support the NHS Global Health Unit as a medical expert, in international knowledge exchange & collaborations with professionals, academics & institutions. These have included projects on Saudi Arabia, Denmark, Brazil & Japan.
I am proud to be a Non-Executive Director for an award winning charity, Social Enterprise Kent & an educator for the Gurkha Welfare Trust, in Nepal.
I’m mad about rock climbing, bouldering and outdoor sport climbing.
Having a mentor is akin to having an invisible hand guiding you through your career journey, providing support and encouragement every step of the way.
A mentor offers valuable insights and wisdom gained from their own experiences helping you navigate challenges and make informed decisions. Crucially, a good mentor can lend you inside knowledge and experience that can make the difference. A ‘roadmap’ if you will.
They believe in your potential, instilling confidence & motivation, propelling you toward your goals. With their support, you gain not only knowledge but a sense of belonging, knowing that someone genuinely cares about your growth and success.
IMPACT
My focus is your accelerated professional development.
Together we can make a positive impact on ourselves, our world, our families & lives of patients through a multifaceted and inspiring career, far from the grind, and worth waking up for (nearly) every morning.

Reviews & Success Stories

I am truly grateful to Dr Jihad Malasi for his insightful mentorship and guidance as I navigate the early stages of my consultant psychiatrist career. His thoughtful advice on developing a balanced and fulfilling portfolio career, combining clinical excellence with teaching, leadership, and service development has been invaluable.
Dr. Amina
General Practitioner
I spoke to Jihad when I was at a cross-roads in my career, I have worked in clinical medicine for a long time but wanted to move on to an ICB leadership position.
The conversation with Jihad was the perfect mix of explorative and non-directive, and also informative and rich with suggestions, learning and ideas. He signposted me to some really key resources and bits of learning e.g. about the commissioning cycle which have since then been invaluable.
I am really pleased to say that after speaking to Jihad I was successful in being appointed as the ICP Clinical director for Children's services- a place based leadership position in an area I am passionate about- and I have really been enjoying and thriving in this role since.

Dr. S Ling
GP Partner at Whitstable Medical Practice
Jihad has been an excellent mentor and guide in helping me understand the various facets of global health. His insights into the different avenues within the field were incredibly valuable, particularly in showing me how to leverage both my South African clinical experience and my current work in Emergency Medicine in Ireland.
Through our conversations, he helped me clarify a core value of mine — the desire to make a positive impact on health systems. His thoughtful guidance and generous support have been instrumental in shaping how I consider the next steps in my career.
When I qualified as GP, the transition felt daunting—new responsibilities, complex clinical decisions, and the overwhelming sense that I was just beginning to understand what it meant to be a GP.
It was during this time that I had the privilege of being mentored by Dr. Malasi who not only guided me clinically but also inspired me to think beyond the walls of the consultation room.
From the outset, he offered me genuine support, practical guidance, and the kind of encouragement that gives a new doctor the confidence to grow. He never gave me the answers outright, but instead equipped me with the tools to find them myself—instilling in me a mindset of reflection, curiosity, and continual learning.
What truly set him apart was his ability to see potential even before I could. He encouraged me to explore broader roles within primary care, ultimately leading me to apply for and secure a position as a Health Education England Fellow. That experience was transformative, expanding my leadership skills and my understanding of how we can influence healthcare systems to improve outcomes for patients and colleagues alike.
Today, I’m proud to serve as a GP partner in one of the best performing practices in Kent—a milestone I would not have reached without the foundational support of this exceptional mentor. His belief in me, coupled with his dedication to teaching and developing others, has had a lasting impact on my career and the kind of doctor I strive to be.
I’m deeply grateful for the time, wisdom, and genuine care he invested in my journey. His mentorship has not only shaped my path but continues to influence how I support and inspire others entering the profession.
