Dr Amina Al-Yassin

I am a General Practitioner in the NHS and Barnardo’s and the Clinical Lead for Children’s services in the London Borough of Brent. I am the Royal college of GPs children and young people's mental health representative and a core committee member in the RCGP adolescent health special interest group and a GP trainer.

As the Strategic Clinical Lead for Children’s Services in Brent I developed a targeted healthy child check for CORE20 children and an asthma LES that was featured in the NICE guidelines. As a GP with Barnardo’s, the largest national children's charity in the UK, I am developing a model for family support work in primary care and have developed the competency frameworks for similar models in acute settings. 

I am passionate about education and training, both for fellow health care professionals as well as community groups. As well as a MSc in Medical Education, I am a WHO FIDES Health influencer and am an accredited trainer for multiple programmes including the children and war foundation’s trauma recovery intervention

I have won multiple awards for my work including the Imperial College Emerging Alumni leader award (2023) and the Empowered women's network outstanding achievement of the year (2023). In 2021 I was a finalist for the PULSE General Practice awards (GP Rising star award).
