Congratulations 🥳 to Dr Yeboah, who is celebrating an incredible 25 years as a Partner at Parkfield Medical Centre.
To mark this milestone, we are delighted to highlight her contribution to the recently published book 100 Black British Doctors, produced by the Future Medics Forum.
In her own words, Dr Yeboah explains:
“As a teenager, I encountered many barriers when I decided that I wanted to become a doctor. This book aims to pave the way for aspiring medics, particularly those from non-medical families and Black students, who remain underrepresented within the profession.
“It explains the journey into medicine and shares the inspiring stories of Black doctors at different stages of their training and careers. Although the book focuses on Black doctors, it offers valuable guidance and encouragement to any young person considering a career in medicine.
“The book has been self-published by the Future Medics Forum, a non-profit organisation. It is hoped that any proceeds will be reinvested in promoting the book and making it available in schools and libraries across the country.
“I chose to take part because I value my career and want young people to see medicine as a rewarding profession, despite much of the negativity surrounding it in the media today.”
In the book, Dr Yeboah reflects on the resistance she faced when choosing medicine as a career. During her six-year medical degree, she was one of only five Black students on her course.
She later joined a supportive practice in Mill Hill as a GP trainee and, after qualifying, spent three years there as a GP Partner. She then moved to Parkfield Medical Centre, where she has served the local community for the past 25 years.
Throughout her career, Dr Yeboah has also been passionate about teaching, mentoring and supporting the next generation of doctors. Her commitment to continued learning has strengthened her knowledge and helped her provide confident, effective and enjoyable consultations with her patients.
Dr Yeboah says she never set out simply to be successful—she wanted to become the best doctor she could be and to have the freedom to choose where and with whom she worked.
Her advice to anyone considering a career in medicine is simple:
“Go for it, work hard, and you can achieve whatever you put your mind to.”
Congratulations, Dr Yeboah, on this remarkable milestone and thank you for 25 years of dedicated service to Parkfield Medical Centre and its patients.
