"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"
Prof Partha Kar OBE – National Speciality Advisor, Diabetes, NHS England
Consultant Endocrinologist | Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust | National Specialty Advisor, Diabetes, NHS England | GIRFT Co-lead, Diabetes, NHS Improvement
“Over the last 20 years the co-alignment of cardio, renal and metabolic medicine has grown with the introduction of a range of therapies . 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 is the go to person in relation to organising events related to cardio renal metabolic medicine."
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, GPs and allied HCPs 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."

"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."
