Dr Hannah Newens

Female

Dr Hannah Newens has been working as a GP in the Medway South area since completing her GP training at The Churchill clinic achieving MRCGP in August 2018. She returned as a salaried GP in 2018 and became a GP Partner in 2019. She was formally appointed by member practices as Clinical Director of Medway South Primary Care Network. Her role is to support collaborative working across the practices, workforce development and most importantly improve the quality of care provided to all our patients.

She is keen to work with patients on co-designing local services and with the wider network of organisations, such as social care and the voluntary sector.

Outside of work, she has two children and one on the way who take up most of her spare time and her husband is a local Baptist minister in Essex so this also keeps her busy.
