She has clinical commissioning experience, having held the posts of Clinical Commissioning Group Chairman and Senior Clinical Lead. She was also a Primary Care Trust GP Director of Commissioning, and has worked as a national clinical lead contracted by NHS England.

Lisa works as a salaried GP in Essex. She is mother to three daughters, and enjoys running, cycling and assault courses.

Dr Katie Bramall-Stainer MB BS BSc (Hons) DFRSH DRCOG MRCGP

Katie qualified from UCL medical school in 2003, and completed her GP training in Haringey in 2008. She continued to work in the capital as a salaried GP until relocating to her GMS partnership in Hertford in 2010. She continues to serve on the executive of her local Hertfordshire LMC.

Katie has considerable experience in representing colleagues at a national level for 15 years. She was a BMA junior doctor negotiator and deputy chair of the GP Trainees Subcommittee of the BMA General Practitioners Committee (GPC) in 2007/8. She has served continuously on the GPC since then, recently becoming a regional representative following years of being elected from the Conference of LMCs.

Dr Asiya Yunus MBBS, BSc (Hons), MRCGP, DFSRH, PGCert Health Management & Leadership

She has developed a series of recommendations on how to bring joy and meaning to working general practice as part of a project at Londonwide LMCs. Asiya has a keen interest in the wellbeing of staff and "joy in practice", a concept that is missing in a GP’s experience of primary care that can mitigate burnout and lead to happier staff and happier patients.

Asiya has worked with clinicians, patients and academics to show the value of quality improvement; empowering teams to use measurement to drive improvement across a healthcare system that has resulted in improved outcomes for patients.
