Dr Henderson has developed a reputation in recent years as a renowned and skilled conference chairman and facilitator, working at many major conferences both in the UK and across the globe. His relaxed and confident professional style, and ability to master any brief given to him has generated consistent praise from audiences and the companies involved, and as such he is increasingly in demand in this role.

He was involved widely around the UK in connection with diabetes prevention and appeared on Sky news in connection with this. He was involved in a number of high-profile health campaigns and videos, chaired and spoke at many UK conferences and was one of the judges at the 2019 General Practice Awards.

Despite the impact of Covid-19 in 2020 he remained as busy as ever working as a GP, writing for the Spectator and NetDoctor, speaking in many webinars (including one with Professor Karol Sikora on the effect of the pandemic on cancer treatment in the UK) and continuing his work as UK Medical Director for Liva Healthcare. He judged the 2020 General Practice Awards and was involved in a number of high-profile health and radio voiceover campaigns.

In addition to his general practice work in 2021 he has been one of two doctors on the Pulse Live advisory board helping to put together the agendas for the Spring series of GP meetings that he also chaired. He was invited onto CNN to discuss Covid vaccination and continues to write for the Spectator and Daily Telegraph.

In 2023 he became the UK clinical content creator for Healthwords - one of the world’s first conversational AI tools solely focused on providing healthcare advice and self-care products in the UK.
