Since 2008, while training and practising as an inner-city GP in London, I’ve presented television and radio for Channel 4, BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 3, BBC World Service, and Al Jazeera. I have written for the Guardian and I’m currently writing a non-fiction book called ANIMA on the idea of the soul. You can get in touch here, or follow me on Twitter. I am represented by Tracy Bohan at The Wylie Agency. Below is a list of most of my work to date
