Dr Kalwij responded to the pandemic by converting a large community centre into a ‘hot’ clinic for practices across south London’s Lewisham borough to refer into. He also led the development of a ‘cold clinic’, plus the rollout of antibody testing in north Lewisham, and helped set up a blood testing centre and two community services to relieve pressure on the hospital – one on pain management and another for dermatology patients. ‘He has achieved all this through extreme hard work, clinical excellence and a pragmatic approach to collaboration,’ says Edmund Glynn, who works with Dr Kalwij in their local GP federation.
