Dr. Clare Gerada

Woman's Hour Power List 2014 – Game Changers

Clare Gerada is a GP and Chair of the Council of the Royal College of General Practitioners, a position she holds until November. A vocal defender of the NHS, she sprang to prominence as a leading voice in the opposition to the coalition government’s reorganisation of the NHS in England. Early this year she was named as one of Woman’s Hour’s 100 most powerful women in the UK. She talks to Jane Garvey about the role, her medical career and what power means to her.
