The highlight of the annual LMCs Conference is often a rousing speech by Dr Katie Bramall-Stainer – who is an almost unrivalled gauge of sentiment in the profession.
Over the past 12 months, she has taken on new hats, including deputy chair of the LMCs Conference and deputy chief executive of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough LMC. She was also elected to BMA Council in April.

Most importantly, she enjoys huge respect among her peers: ‘She is an amazing doctor with an amazing brain’.
