One Health Lewisham’s GP Fellows 2020-21

I am the new GP Fellow for Digital and Education. I have worked in Lewisham and Greenwich since 2015, completing my GP training on the Greenwich scheme. I have previously worked abroad in Newcastle, Australia and have also done a management and leadership fellowship with Aviva, Health and Protection UK, gaining insight into an organisation outside of the NHS. Outside of work I enjoy yoga, baking and diving

 

 

GP Fellow in Lifestyle Medicine

Rik Fijten

I am the new GP Fellow in Lifestyle Medicine. I started working in Lewisham in August – taking up a salaried role across two practices within The Lewisham Care Partnership. As well as completing the MRCGP, I have also completed the MRCP which provided me with a solid grounding in clinical medicine, and complex clinical medicine is an area which I find fascinating. I have a real interest in population health, lifestyle medicine and and how we, as primary care healthcare professionals, can improve the health and wellbeing of our local population through simple and sustainable interventions. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family, playing football and listening to podcasts.

My interests outside of work include yoga, running, cycling, and walking our sausage dog.

Hi, I’m Margaret I am a joint clinical lead for Clinical Effectiveness Group (CEG) alongside Grace. Hopefully some of you will already know who I am as I was a GP Fellow with OHL last year and predominantly helped with the development of CEG, the OHL Covid response and did clinical work in GPEA and the hot hubs.
