Increasing action on social determinants of health in primary care with Dr Dr Selva Selvarajah, GP at Bromley-by-Bow

Community, Health and Capital @ 19 Hills

Let us know what you think of the show

Join us for our 8th episode as we speak with Dr Selva Selvarajah, a GP Partner at St Andrews Health Centre at the infamous Bromley-by-Bow Health Centre in Tower Hamlets, east London. Selva narrates a brief history of how Bromley-by-Bow grew from its roots as a community-led social action organisation into one delivering primary healthcare, but with a radically different approach.
Selva talks to us about recent developments at Bromley-by-Bow including how the NHS is commissioning their organisation to deliver more preventative, 'population health' activity in the community and how action on the social determinants (money, housing, work and more) is becoming a routine part of the care they provide to people with long-term conditions.
