Neal qualified from the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine in 1993, completing his GP training in 1997 and subsequently joined Bridge Street Surgery in Louth as a Partner.
He has always had a keen interest in community medicine and specialised early on in Family Planning, Reproductive Health and Sexual Health. He was recognised as a GPwSI in Sexual Health by Lincolnshire NHS in 2009. In August of the same year Neal succeeded in opening the Greta Ross Clinic at Newmarket Medical Practice after a number of years of campaigning for a centre of excellence to be established in Louth that specialised in these areas of community medicine.
The years 2005 - 2010 saw Neal involved heavily in promoting the health needs of Louth, both through his work as a Trustee of Louth and District Hospice and Executive Director of the East Lindsey Practice Based Commissioning Group. As an early adopter of commissioning they were able to demonstrate the power of bringing clinicians and managers together by successfully managing the process of changing Louth County Hospital to a community hospital, preventing closure and developing the provision of Community Health Care for the local and wider population. Frontline GPs were able to access investigative services such as MRI and ultrasound, reducing the pressure on the local acute trust.
In 2007 Neal set up Lincolnshire and District Medical Services, a company funded by 43 local GPs with the vision to create a provider federation. Initially this was for all the practices in East Lindsey but quickly expanded to cover Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, East Riding and Hull. Their first contract was to work in partnership with their community provider trust (Lincolnshire Community Heath Services) to provide the medical cover to support the urgent care centre and the medical wards at Louth County Hospital. Following the success of this partnership, LADMS joined with the local mental health trust (Lincolnshire Partnership Foundation Trust) to win the contracts to run 4 GP practices. The next stage of this journey has been to form a MCP comprising all 3 organisations and the local St Barnabas hospice. Through this partnership we hope to end the fragmented delivery of patient care that currently exists, providing a joined up provision of health care for the population.
Neal has been nominated for a number of national honours by patients and colleagues alike:
