Bromley-by-Bow

...

Bromley By Bow.

But yeah, it was a good few years.

But-

My guest today is Professor Sir Sam Everington.

He's been a GP in Tower Hamlets since 1989 at the Bromley by Bow Centre, but he started training as a barrister and then as a doctor at the Royal Free.

He spent decades campaigning from outside the system on discrimination, on junior doctor hours and on primary care.

But last year, he moved inside, joining the board of NHS England.

It's about working out how you do it, but it's really important you keep your humanity throughout and you keep your focus.

Well, and in that one, recognizing the wins, because otherwise you're just an agitator constantly.

One of the places you've driven some of the greatest amount of change, I'd imagine, is as a GP, and particularly at Bromley by Bow practice.

So before we get into the practice and what's special about it, could you just give us a bit of a picture of Tower Hamlets and general practice there, the population, and how GP's been innovating over the last couple of decades?
