Meet a Changemaker: Dr Imrana Siddiqui, GP and Mental Health Clinical Lead for North East London ICB

Imrana is passionate about reducing inequalities. As a GP, seeing patients struggle to access the care they need made her want to make health systems more accessible and relevant for them. She therefore works with mental health services to support the development of services which are tailored to the needs of the borough’s diverse population, especially for minoritised groups. She chairs Newham’s mental health partnership board, the ambition of which is for health, social and voluntary and faith sector organisations to work together to provide holistic care for patients. She works locally and nationally on suicide prevention projects and is a volunteer for the British Islamic Medical Association.
