As Deputy IT Lead for the British Medical Association’s GP Committee and Deputy Chair of the Joint GP IT Committee, she helped lead the £300m online consultation fund, electronic prescribing, and advanced interoperability initiatives. She also led the implementation of GDPR in primary care and co-authored the first Dynamic Purchasing System Framework for digital health product regulation and procurement. In 2016, Bea successfully negotiated the £3.2bn junior doctors' contract.
