I have been a GP in Teesside since 2006, and a member of the LMC for almost all that time. I have been an LMC executive team member since 2015, holding the role of company secretary since 2019.

I have led the LMCs work on improving integration with secondary care and on safe working in general practice.

I previously had responsibility for organising and running the national conference of LMCs, which provided an unrivalled leadership experience. I now sit on the national BMA Sessional GPs Committee.

My clinical work is as a GP locum, and I additionally work as a GP Appraiser. Both roles give me an excellent insight into the range of issues affecting GPs and practices on a day-to-day basis.
