Primary Care

Drawing on the experience of primary care professionals working in the community and colleagues within secondary care, the team is focused on facilitating ways for colleagues to connect and share learning, to deliver better outcomes for our diverse local populations.

King’s Health Partners (KHP) also hosts a number of more clinically focused courses from within the partnership, for primary care, the details of which can be found here.

Every six weeks the team holds free webinars that feature healthcare professionals discussing a variety of important topics. 

The KHP Primary Care webinars are chaired by Dr Rachna Chowla, Joint Director of Clinical Strategy at King's Health Partners. Rachna is a GP at Albion Street Group Practice in Rotherhithe and a Clinical Lead for Clinical Effectiveness South East London. She is passionate about improving health inequalities and driving collaboration to benefit community wellbeing. 

All our webinars are held virtually via MS Teams for an hour over lunchtime between 1-2pm.
