“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. 
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.”

Dr Lavan Baskaran has been working as a doctor for the U.K National Health Service for 15 years. He has been a GP Senior Partner for almost a decade, and whilst running both his practices in South London, covering twenty thousand patients, has developed specialist interests in Diabetes, E.N.T, Minor Surgery, Transgender Health and A.D.H.D. He offers his strategic input through Clinical Director roles across a number of practices in his areas of Sutton and Croydon, but now focuses his time on developing his private Harley Street clinic and YouTube channel for patient health education. Despite being very medically focussed and always applying evidence-based medicine in his practice, Dr Baskaran is a huge advocate of lifestyle medicine, consulting patients about the importance of a positive mindset, with application of improved diet and increased exercise, before reaching for pills. Having setup Social Prescribing (the idea of de-medicalising and appreciating that factors such as stress through mental health, employment and finance, can manifest as physical health conditions) across Sutton, he now spends time using aspects of this to empower the patient through their journey of chronic disease, leading to better health outcomes. He dedicates every day of his life, extending the length and improving the quality of the lives of others.

My name is Dr Kate Payne, and I am an Educational and Child Psychologist working primarily within a London Borough Local Authority. My qualifications include a First Class Undergraduate BSc Degree in Psychology, a Masters in Mental Health Psychology and a Doctorate in Educational and Child Psychology. These qualifications, alongside my experiences to date, have enabled me the opportunity to use and apply psychology to support the development of children through to adulthood.
