Episode 27. Backstage with: Dame Helen Stokes Lampard.

The Next GenCast

This episode is a podcast takeover.... with one of our wonderful Next Gen GPs in Nottingham, Dr Sarah Armitage, taking on the role of host!

Dame Helen Stokes Lampard, as she subsequently became known after the podcast was recorded, will be a familiar name and voice to many of you. Whether you’ve heard her in the media, giving speeches in her role as former Chair of the RCGP, or you might have heard her speak at a Next Gen event for us, given that she’s kindly accepted so many of our invitations over the years.

She is currently Chair of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC), Chair of the National Academy of Social Prescribing, and a GP partner practising in Lichfield in Staffordshire.

Many of you will know her as the former Chair of the RCGP from 2016-2019, during which time she was never far from our radios and TV screens, trying to ensure the ‘voice’ of general practice and GPs was understood and fairly represented. She has been described as one of the most inspiring and influential GPs in the country.
