We are pleased to say that pioneering GP Sir Sam Everington will be joining us as a speaker at the 2018 FHT Conference next month.
Sir Sam Everington is a GP, chair of Tower Hamlet’s Clinical Commissioning Group, elected member of the British Medical Association’s Council, director of Community Health Partnerships, Honorary Professor of Queen Mary University of London and vice president of the College of Medicine and Queen’s Nursing Institute.
He believes that quality of life is the strongest determinant of good health and has been championing lifestyle changes, social prescription and care in the community for many years. He is part of the Bromley By Bow GP partnership, an innovative community organisation with more than 100 projects to support wider determinants of health, a subject he will discuss at the 2018 FHT Conference. For this he has developed a working model of social prescription, helping to support the community in Tower Hamlets, London, an area with high deprivation and poverty.
In addition, he co-founded the Tower Hamlets GP out of hours service and has published a number of articles on discrimination in the NHS, with Professor Aneez Esmail.
In 1999 he received an OBE for services to inner city primary care and a knighthood in 2015 for services to primary care. Sir Sam Everington was also the first medic to arrive at the scene of the 7/7 bombings in 2005.
