About Lisa

Dr Lisa Cameron is a Scottish politician and former consultant clinical psychologist who represented East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow in the House of Commons from 2015 until 2024. Born on 8 April 1972, she initially won her seat for the Scottish National Party at the 2015 general election and was subsequently re-elected under the SNP banner in both 2017 and 2019. In a significant political move, she crossed the floor to join the Scottish Conservatives in October 2023, serving with that party until she stood down at the 2024 general election.

Drawing on her professional background in clinical psychology and her near-decade of parliamentary experience, Dr Cameron brings expertise in health policy and Scottish political affairs to her analysis. She now writes commentary for Comment Central.
