Dr Teck Keong Khong
General Medical Practitioner and Forensic Physician, and Parliamentary Candidate of the Conservative Party
Teck Khong read medicine at Sheffield University and law at Cardiff University. Active both as a GP and a forensic physician, he works across the counties of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire.
He is also a member of the Local Medical Committee, a past-president of the Leicestershire and Rutland Division of the BMA and a past-president of the Leicestershire Medico-Legal Society. HealthWebWide, a service-provider incubator which Teck established in 1999, has undergone an expansion in its scope which now includes policy development.
Teck hopes to be selected to contest a seat at the next General Election.
POLITICAL ACHIEVEMENTS
Contesting Bradford North in the 2005 General Election proved a tough campaign for Teck beset by late selection, long-standing in-fighting and Muslim voters’ rejection of his Party’s position on Iraq. Notwithstanding those difficulties, his potential was recognised with promotion to the Priority List of candidates of the Conservative Party.
An example of Teck’s practical and strategic thinking was his founding in 2006 of ‘Spectrum’ - a Conservative group that demonstrates how vocational commitment of candidates in the community and to society can advance the Conservative cause and benefit the country.
Teck’s longstanding advocacy of seamless patient care is evinced by his papers presented as the GP representative to the BMA Working Party on Medical Chambers in 2002, the launch in 2002 of a low-cost NHS-augmentative health scheme as a precursor to a community health trust fund, his role as Convener of the Policy Forum on Health in 2003 at the University of Leicester and the keynote speech, and his establishment of the Leicestershire Health Consortium in 2006.
VOLUNTARY AND COMMUNITY WORK
Teck was founder-chairman of a local conservation group in the Hilltop area of Oadby that continues to enjoy unanimous local support in its resistance against incongruous development that violates the original covenant of the area.
To serve the unmet needs of people living in Leicester city-centre, he set up a community clinic but the lack of funding forced its closure after a year.
Unusually, Teck is both a member of Doctors for Reform and a supporter Keep our NHS Public. They represent his belief in the compassionate founding principles of the NHS yet demonstrate his respect for the autonomy of the individual.
