Dr Karl Bennett
senior partner, Oakley Health Group
Dr Karl Bennett originally joined his GP practice in 2001 which merged successively to become a single practice PCN serving a community of 30000. The practice has adopted a triage first approach in order manage its patients’ needs balancing access with efforts to preserve continuity of care for those who need it.
Having been GP IT lead for North East Hants and Farnham CCG since 2013 he has continued the role for Frimley ICB whose round of successive restructuring meant his experience of mergers proved invaluable.
Karl’s main interest is in widespread primary care transformation in order to improve access to a comprehensive level of care for patients while creating a sustainable practice and stimulating environment for staff.
