Neil Bamford
GP Principal and Diabetes Clinical Lead, Wandsworth Clinical Commissioning GroupDirectory:
Expertise:
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.

Richard Lane, former President of DUK, and a patient diagnosed with T2DM suggest that the biggest challenge for diabetes care is actually engaging people who are either at risk of the condition or living with diabetes. Only once people are engaged do you stand a chance to raise their awareness of the disease, and encourage them to change their diets and lifestyles in order to slow the progression of the condition and even prevent it.
