Portfolio GP. Founder. Advisor.
The Health Corner is the portfolio practice of Dr Helena Adjei, a practising NHS GP — extending clinical authority beyond the consulting room into the workplaces, homes, products, and conversations where people already are.
Dr Helena Adjei is an NHS General Practitioner in the London and Essex area, a lifestyle medicine practitioner, and the founder of The Health Corner — an umbrella brand for her four hubs of work beyond the consulting room.
She is passionate about the breadth of general practice and the way one clinical background can grow into several meaningful areas of work. Her interests span lifestyle and preventative medicine, women's health, workplace wellbeing, health technology, and health communication — areas she sees as complementary rather than competing.
She completed her MBBS, was awarded an MRes with Distinction in medical sciences at the Quadram Institute — one of Europe's leading centres for food and microbiome research — and earned her MRCGP. Her peer-reviewed co-authored work focuses on gut microbiome interventions in preterm neonates, complementing the evidence-based work she does in lifestyle medicine.
Outside clinic, she teaches medical students, shares medical education on social media, presents to GP colleagues, and has created patient documents now used in clinical practice.
She is a mum of two former extreme-premature twin boys, has a keen eye for travel, and a creative flair that comes through in her social media work.
A portfolio GP, building a body of work that extends what a clinician can be.
