"Lisa Kelly is absolutely one of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of working with in the industry. Her ability to deliver projects, work collaboratively with healthcare professionals while maintaining a great relationship with all stakeholders is not a skill many possess and without doubt would be someone I wholeheartedly recommend"

“Over the last 20 years the co-alignment of cardio, renal and metabolic medicine has never been greater with the introduction of a range of therapies that are common to patients with this range of disorders. Furthermore, the development of new treatments has meant that the partnership between the NHS and pharmaceutical companies has never been more important and of more benefit to patients. Lisa Kelly has been directly involved in the development of this new way of working through her roles in medical affairs and medical science liaison in a number of major pharmaceutical companies. Her previous roles have given her enormous experience in this important area of medicine and not only does she have the knowledge of the subject matter, she also has knowledge, trust and respect of the experts in these fields working across the UK and further. Lisa has been involved in leading a range of events that have provided education to the healthcare community and facilitating communications between experts in this field. Lisa is the go to person in relation to organising events related to cardio renal metabolic medicine whether they be live events or remote. "

Dr Andrew Frankel - Consultant Nephrologist at Imperial Healthcare NHS Trust, London

"I have worked with Lisa for over 10 years and two things spring to mind- Honesty and Commitment. She has delivered on numerous projects and all with a singular purpose of improving care within the NHS. She has set in place programmes to support nurses, GP's and allied HCP's to improve not only their knowledge, but also their confidence in managing Diabetes."

Dr Naresh Kanumilli – Community Diabetes Consultant. Diabetes UK Clinical Champion. Diabetes Network Lead for Greater Manchester & East Cheshire.

"I have worked with Lisa on a number of projects over a long period of time and can attest that she is a joy to work with. She has a fantastic knowledge base around the cardiovascular renal metabolic medicine workspace, but I am certain she would be able to apply her skills to any clinical area of practice. She exemplifies how the NHS should work collaboratively with industry partners, with patients at the heart of discussions and developments, and I would be more than happy to work with her again on future projects."

Philip Newland Jones - Consultant Pharmacist. Diabetes and Endocrinology, Southampton

"Lisa Kelly has been a valuable colleague since 2011 and throughout this time has shown a great commitment to ensuring equitable access to diabetes education and support for all levels of healthcare professionals. Serving to underline this undertaking, has been the inception, development, and promotion of the 4FRONT Academy by Lisa. The Academy has as its central theme, the development and support of aspiring nurse leaders in diabetes and this for me (and many others), has been pivotal in the development and progression of my diabetes career. Lisa has such a natural aptitude in engaging effectively with healthcare professionals and an extensive portfolio of knowledge and project success, all of which will serve to ensure the success of LKOTT Communications."

Nicki Milne – Queens Nurse RGN RM – Community Diabetes Specialist Nurse, Manchester. Diabetes UK Clinical Champion

"Having worked directly with Lisa for many years, I am delighted to be able to publicly testify about Lisa’s skills and performance. A constant feature of Lisa’s work is her ability to ‘make things happen’ which means that Lisa can be relied upon to identify an opportunity, develop a plan of action and follow through to a successful conclusion. One major reason for these successes is Lisa’s ability to rapidly develop professional, mutually beneficial relationships with appropriate key stakeholders, always working for realistic win-win outcomes. I can confidently recommend Lisa as an exemplary, highly motivated project manager with outstanding interpersonal skills."

Jim McNulty – Director, MSL Support Services Limited

"I have worked in partnership with Lisa for 14 years on a number of collaborations. These projects have always been very well organised, engaged, creative, receptive and essentially working towards a shared goal to ensure projects are delivered. Lisa is approachable, friendly and adopts a very much ‘can-do’ attitude. It is an absolute pleasure working with her!"

Professor Kamlesh Khunti CBE – Professor of Primary Care Diabetes and Vascular Medicine at the University of Leicester

"The DSN Forum have known Lisa professionally for the last 6 years or more. She is an absolute delight to work with and represents everything right about project management. She is hugely respected professional with endless amounts of knowledge, respect and passion. Lisa is committed entirely to improving the care of those living with cardio renal metabolic disorders across the UK whilst working alongside trusted leaders in these fields. We are really excited as a DSN voice to be working with Lisa going forward with several innovative projects. We knew Lisa was the right person to collaborate with as she shares our enthusiasm and passion for collective MDT working across the cardiorenal metabolic field. We wish Lisa all the best with LKOTT consultancy."
