      Approached by the GP Head of School for a HEE funded project to create a new online community to support all OOP/LTFT/maternity and paternity GP trainees across London as well as those returning to training. The forum provides peer advice and up to date resources so trainees don’t have to go through the experience alone and reduces delays in response and the admin burden on HEE staff. Collaborated with HEE and GP Reps to improve education and resolve training issues for all GP trainees across London. Coordinated with RCGP and the BMA to provide better resources and online services. Helped organise teaching for his local Vocational Training Scheme. Coordinated with HEE helping trainees through the new junior doctors contract issues and has since worked with his local guardian to create a Wellbeing legacy for hospital colleagues.
