A Sutton GP has been awarded an MBE for services to healthcare, including during the Covid-19 pandemic, in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list.

Dr Carter Singh, 39, is a partner at Willowbrook Medical Centre, Sutton. He runs CIMA Care Consortium, which provides care in residential homes for complex learning disability patients.

When the pandemic broke out, Dr Singh took the decision to support staff at residential care homes, drafting up diet plans, daily activity planners and infection control measures to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on their lives.

He said he was honoured and humbled to be awarded an MBE. “It’s a privilege to serve alongside my colleagues on the NHS frontline. I accept this honour on behalf of all those who have tragically lost loved ones to Covid-19. Thank you.”
