Dr. Margaret Ikpoh is a GP partner and current RCGP Faculty Chair for Humber and The Ridings. She's also Associate Director of Primary Care for Hull and York Medical School, a Fellow of the Royal College of General Practitioners, one of of the co-champions of Yorkshire and Humber Clinical Research Network, a member of RCGP council, and she's a mum of two- so she’s very busy! 

Margaret is earlier on in her leadership journey than some of our previous guests, and I hope her story of overcoming her imposter syndrome, finding confidence to speak out, and understanding the influence she can have, is a source of inspiration for those considering leadership roles.
