Having started her journey working at the one Michelin star ‘Adams' Restaurant in Birmingham. Louisa then made the career-defining decision to apply for MasterChef - The Professionals in 2017, making it to the finals! Three years later in 2020, she was invited back to compete once again in MasterChef – The Rematch! This time taking home the trophy, with Michelin star chef Marcus Wareing hailing her main course as ‘the dish of the day'. The achievements and accolades kept on coming and in 2022 she also took home the highly coveted title of ‘Chef of the Year' for the Midlands! In January this year, Louisa made an appearance on Great British Menu where she made it through to the judge's chamber. This is an achievement Louisa has always dreamt about doing as a chef as she has looked up to the chefs on the competition show for most of her career. Riding high on these successes, Louisa leapt into the extraordinary world of private fine dining. Away from the hustle and bustle of the kitchen, Louisa is a huge supporter of charity fundraising. She has just competed in her first-ever charity boxing match in March and has raised just under £4000 for Macmillan Cancer support in honour of the loss of her close friend Ally.

Helen has had a range of senior leadership roles, and in this episode she tells me how to get into leadership, how to progress, and the skills needed to succeed. Many people will have great skills, but they don't put themselves forward, they wait to be asked, or they wait for the perfect opportunity. However, this means that they may struggle to have the impact that they want, and Helen's tip is to go for it, learn and develop, and don't be afraid to fail. She tells me that it's important to keep eyes open for exciting opportunities, and this also means having to create space by letting go of other things. Our careers are not linear, they evolve all the time, and every step opens up a myriad of new doors and opportunities. Getting to know yourself is key to good leadership, as is knowing the people around you, and picking the battles that you choose to fight. I love her mantra "don't just moan, do something".Helen Stokes-Lampard, Professor of GP Education, is back at UoB following a three-year secondment (2020-23) as Chair of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC) through the Covid19 pandemic.
