Following this, and conventional training in Medicine, she graduated from the University of Dundee. As a junior doctor she had the personal experience of debilitating autoimmune illness and going back to her Naturopathic roots, Dr Minha was able to regain her health.At the same time, Dr Minha realised that doctors were not getting enough of Nutrition Education in their training and together with group of like minded colleagues is a founding member of the Need for Nutrition Education Programme (NNEdPro). These experiences ignited a lifelong interest in complex disease management.To further this understanding, Dr Minha successfully secured a highly coveted NIHR (Walport) Academic Clinical Fellowship in Rheumatology and General Medicine, at the Universities of Manchester and Wolfson College, Cambridge and upon completion pursued further training in Occupational, Disability and Environmental Medicine. Another series of health events led Dr Minha to Board Certification in Lifestyle Medicine.Dr Minha has been a recipient of the Mobbs Corporate Fellowship from the Royal College of Physicians, Faculty of Occupational Medicine and the Golden Jubilee Fellowship of the Society for Occupational Medicine and the MNI Award at the European Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ESPEN).
Dr Sue Truman Primary Care Advisor, Strategy and Innovation Lead BA, MBA, PhD. For nearly a decade, I have been keen to support reception and administration staff in primary care to fill the absence of structured taught training after the change in the Health and Care Bill 2012. Initially, I worked with Health Education England in 2016 on a collaboration project to link primary and secondary care workforce training. I contributed to the GP Assistant programme with NHSE whilst in its development stage. Leading on from this work, I piloted a short programme sponsored by the MSE ICB to create a benchmark standard qualification that will help administrative staff better respond to patients’ needs and develop a medical skill set that compliments that of medical personnel, allowing administration teams to upskill towards a greater understanding of the clinical fundamental aspects of patient care.
