EP11 - My Journey from Lagos to the NHS

EP11 - My Journey from Lagos to the NHS

In this rare and deeply personal solo episode of Healthcare Leadership Conversations, I invite you into the moments, values, and turning points that shaped my life: growing up in Lagos as the daughter of two doctors, the weight (and gift) of Nigerian expectations, choosing medicine in the UK, and the long, winding road from junior doctor to national leadership roles.

What You’ll Learn

- The Four Acceptable Careers: How growing up in a Nigerian doctor family made medicine feel both inevitable and like a genuine calling.

- Privilege as Responsibility: Why I see the advantages I was given not as luck, but as something to be used deliberately in service of others.

- Service as a Verb: Leadership isn’t a title in the NHS; it’s the daily choice to put patients, teams, and equity first.

This isn’t a lecture. It’s my honest reflection on identity, courage, uncertainty, and why, for me, leadership will always mean one thing: being in service to others.
