Member of UK Parliament, Conservative Party

Dr Dan Poulter is an NHS hospital doctor, working in mental health services, who has been MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich since May 2010.

Dr Dan is a strong believer in MPs having experience of life outside of politics, and he uses his background and real life experience from his work as an NHS hospital doctor to fight for the needs of the people of Suffolk.

Since the election in 2015 Dr Dan has taken an active interest in Energy and Climate Change issues, and was a member of the influential Energy and Climate Change Select Committee until the committee was dissolved in 2015-16. He also Chairs the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Global Health.

When time permits, Dr Dan remains a keen rugby player, cricketer and golfer, and he enjoys taking his dog Bruno for walks in our beautiful Suffolk countryside.
