He served as the chair and CEO for Clover Health – a network of 15 practices looking after 90,000 patients – for over three years.

The latter also won the best Clinical Team of the Year in Paediatrics in 2017. A staunch supporter of primary care and recognising the need to work collaboratively, Dr Verma has delivered many talks on shared working and optimising workflow safely on the national platform.
