Biography

Neil Bamford was born in Wandsworth and still works there as a GP, joining his father’s practice after a period researching eye disease at the Institute of Eye Health.

He has a MSc in Public Health and a Diploma in Primary Care Diabetes.

He has been diabetes clinical lead in Wandsworth since 2002, seeing diabetes care transformed by the implementation of the National Service Framework, the Quality and Outcomes Framework and the Health Care for London report. During this time the management of diabetes has stopped being a hospital speciality practised by an elite few and has become an area of primary care which, with adequate support from specialist clinicians, is available throughout general practice and integrated with local communities.
