Dr Lisa Harrod-Rothwell MA(Cantab) BM BCh (Oxon) MRCGP DRCOG DFFP Cert Med Ed
Lisa qualified from Oxford University Medical School in 2000. Lisa began her career as an obstetrics and gynaecology trainee in London before converting to general practice, qualifying in 2006.
Lisa has considerable clinical leadership experience at both strategic and operational levels. 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 has extensive experience of LMCs having represented sessional doctors on her local LMC for the past six years and held the posts of Board Director and Medical Director at Essex LMCs.
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. She was a member of the GPC’s Commissioning and Service Development subcommittee and now chairs the Representation Subcommittee, overseeing the current reforms to GPC.
Katie is now a sessional GP and mother to two young boys.
Dr Asiya Yunus MBBS, BSc (Hons), MRCGP, DFSRH, PGCert Health Management & Leadership
Asiya completed her medical degree at Imperial College, and trained as a GP in Bloomsbury. Asiya has a long-standing interest in health management and leadership, completing a Leadership (Darzi) Fellowship at the Kings Fund in 2011.
Asiya is a Clinical Quality Director in the Transforming Primary Care Team at Healthy London Partnership and a central London GP. 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. At UCLPartners, she led the deteriorating patient collaborative, across 15 acute trusts with a focus on: “doing our day job whilst continually improving it”.
Asiya is multi-lingual, and can speak five languages including Russian.

Jenny then worked in reproductive health for a short time before doing GP training in Southwark. She was a GP partner in a practice in the North of Lambeth for 28 years where she now works in a sessional role.
Jenny has been Chair of Lambeth LMC since 2002, representing GPs in the borough to local stakeholders including the CCG, NHS England and the local Trusts.
Jenny's interests include cooking, reading, learning Hungarian and windsurfing.
