Professor Sir Sam Everington MBBS, MRCGP, Barrister, OBE, FRCGP has been a GP in East London since 1989 at the Bromley By Bow Centre. The centre has over 100 projects under its roof ranging from art and garden therapy to financial and jobs advice, all supporting the wider determinants of health. The social prescribing delivered at the centre is now part of a network of thousands across the country and a growing movement across the world. Its focus is on what matters to patients rather than what is the matter with them. With over 180 different ethnic groups, East London is a highly diverse community.
