LMC and Board changes
Dr Dami Adedayo is stepping down as Londonwide LMCs’ Treasurer, Board Member and as chair of Barnet LMC. We would like to thank Dami for her service to practitioners, her LMC, and the organisation.
Dr Michelle Drage, our CEO, said:
“It’s been a pleasure working with Dami – who has worked tirelessly on behalf of her constituents in Barnet, and also on behalf of all GPs in London. We pride ourselves at Londonwide in developing GP leaders across the capital and are very grateful for Dami’s diligence and dedication as our Treasurer.”
Paul Tomlinson, our Director of Resources, said:
"Dami was voted onto the Londonwide LMCs Board of Directors in 2016 and was elected as Treasurer in 2018. Dami has taken a close interest in budget planning, accounts and audit as well as developing board finance policies. Dami’s principled views about organisational finance and governance will be greatly missed."
Dr Pamela Martin is also stepping down from Lewisham LMC and as one of two South London GPC reps. We would like to thank Pam for her service to London general practice over several decades.
