Biography

Her contributions often draw on her background as an obstetrician and clinical academic, as evidenced by speeches on patient data for medical research, NHS service reform, and end-of-life cardiac care guidance. Beyond health, she has also contributed to committee work and debates on broader social policy matters including victims' rights and armed forces support.
