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

King’s Health Partners also hosts a number of more clinically focused courses from within the partnership, for primary care, the details of which can be seen below.

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

Primary Care webinars are chaired by Dr Rachna Chowla, Joint Director of Clinical Strategy at King's Health Partners. Rachna is a GP in Southwark 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 1pm - 2pm.

    Presentation and discussion will be focused on diagnosis, management and experience of living with chronic cough in the primary care setting, guidance on where integrated care might fit in and help, and when to refer to secondary or tertiary care.
