I am
a GP in a deprived area of Luton and Director for Public Health Teaching at the
University of Cambridge.
Until recently I was Director
of Primary Care at the King's Fund, a national policy institute.
I have been
heavily involved in charting the impact of primary care policy under new Labour
including the development of Primary Care Trusts.
I began his career in general practice before
moving into public health medicine following a period overseas with the Save
The Children Fund.
I worked previously as a consultant in public health medicine/medical adviser for Bedfordshire Health Authority.
