In his daily practice, he cares for a wide range of women with high risk medical and pregnancy related complications as well as complex Fetal Medicine cases.

He fully participates in the Labour Ward on-call rota including nights and weekends. His specialist Maternal Medicine interests are in Renal disease and Rheumatological disorders in pregnancy.

He has a first-class honours degree from the University of Sheffield in Reproductive Biology and has an MD in the prediction and investigation of preterm birth.

Roobin has been the Lead for Maternity Governance at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust since December 2021 and co-ordinates all aspects of Quality and Safety working in conjunction with all members of the Maternity MDT.

Roobin is heavily involved in the governance and clinical risk structure ensuring all serious incidents are investigated and analysed using Patient Safety Reviews and writing Serious Incident reports.
