Our Directors

 
Dr Saadi Doha

Dr Saadi Doha

I am a GP partner at Lordship Lane surgery since 2013 and I am passionate about delivering high quality primary care services to our local residents.

I grew up in Dulwich before moving to Sheffield to start my medical training. As a student, my favourite attachments were in primary care and I spent time in surgeries in Derbyshire Peaks, Hillsborough and Doncaster. I completed my general practice vocational training in Southampton and Salisbury. As a GP in Southwark, I became involved in the Emerging Leaders Programme which helped me to develop skills to become a local leader for primary care.

My career as a GP is still in the relatively young phase but I was keen to get involved at a local level as it is clear that primary care is in a time of great flux. I became involved with IHL in late 2015 as their vision and mission really resonated with me – I wanted to be involved in supporting practices to be more collaborative and work together. I am proud of what we have achieved so far and I am excited about continuing to try innovative approaches to help support our local practices.

Having grown up in South Southwark and worked in a local GP practice for the last 28 years, I have been lucky to have seen the development of services locally. This includes the mobilisation of the federation and the forming of the Primary Care Networks.

I joined the board of directors in Aug 2023 and feel privileged to now be part of a group with the ability to further enhance those developments and ensure local needs are met and future services are relevant and reflective of our ever changing population.
