National Lead NCHD/NDTP Fellow
Dr Lenin Patrick Ekpotu
My name is Lenin Patrick, and I am honoured to serve as your National Lead NCHD for this year. I graduated from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) in 2017 and have spent the past several years contributing to our health service in various roles. My work has gone beyond clinical practice, navigating the landscapes of medical education, clinical research, and leadership.
Recently, I completed my Basic Specialist Training (BST) at Beaumont Hospital, where I also took on leadership roles within the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (RCPI). This follows years dedicated to medical education with RCSI and coordinating a multinational clinical trial in gastroenterology. My journey in medicine has been shaped by a commitment to progress and a desire to make a meaningful impact. I bring a portfolio of experience I hope will ensure my success in this role.
I would like to extend my gratitude to my predecessors, Sean and Daniel, for the solid foundations they have established. I am committed to building on their work and continuing to advance the growth and success of NCHD training in Ireland.
Look forward to connecting and collaborating with you all, feel free to reach out to me via nl.nchd@hse.ie / leninpatrick.ekpotu@hse.ie / Twitter.
