Dr Nigel Hewett OBE- Trustee

About me:

I am a retired General Practitioner and I have worked with homeless people since 1990. In 2000, I set up the full-time Leicester Homeless Primary Healthcare Service; this is now Inclusion Healthcare, a community interest company judged “outstanding” by the Care Quality Commission. In 2006, I was awarded an OBE for services to homeless people. Subsequently I developed GP led care coordination teams for homeless people in hospitals across the UK, helping set up a new Charity (Pathway) and the Faculty for Homeless and Inclusion Health.

Why I am a Trustee of ORL:
I am a Trustee of ORL because I have long admired their pragmatic approach to meeting fundamental needs, and I am pleased to support this important work.
