Dr Charitha Thenuwara

Private GP

MBBS, MRCGP, DCH

I am available for face-to-face appointments via outpatients and also telephone consultations.

Throughout my 20 years as a GP I have really enjoyed the contact that I have with patients and their families. I also pride myself on communication skills as a key to a good consultation. I have experience in all aspects of general practice and have a clinical interest in dermatology, child health, minor surgery and research.

I have been a GP Partner for over 17 years and now enjoy a GP Portfolio Career. I was recently appointed Primary Care Research Lead for East of England. I combine this work with NHS Clinics and Asylum Centre work.

I qualified from St George's Hospital London as a doctor in 1998 and completed my Royal College of General Practitioners training in 2003.

During the Pandemic, I was the Clinical Lead for the Covid Hub at the Harpenden Memorial Hospital and then the Clinical Lead for the vaccine centre.
