Frontline medicine, and the reach to be heard
I’m a practising NHS doctor who has worked with TikTok and the Department of Health and Social Care on medical misinformation, with the UN-backed Team Halo on COVID-19 vaccines, and at 10 Downing Street on HIV testing.
Track record
10 Downing Street, National HIV Testing Week
The Terrence Higgins Trust invited me. I was part of a small group, with the charity’s patron Beverley Knight, for a half-hour discussion with Keir Starmer. That day he became the first UK Prime Minister to take an HIV test in public.
