We are pleased to announce that GP and TV personality Dr Dawn Harper will be hosting the Our Health Heroes awards ceremony next month.
Dr Dawn qualified from Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School in 1987 and spent several years working in various hospital specialities during which time she became a Member of the Royal College of Physicians.
In 1995 she moved into General Practice and continues to work as an NHS GP today. She is passionate about promoting healthy longevity and alongside General Practice, she has set up and run weight management and women’s health clinics.
Dawn has also worked in the media for the last 20 years. She is perhaps best known as a presenter on Channel 4’s BAFTA award winning “Embarrassing Bodies”, which has been sold to 120 different territories and continues to be watched by millions today. She has worked extensively across a variety of other live and pre-recorded television and radio shows and for many years was resident GP to ITV’s daytime show “This Morning”.
She has authored 12 books and continues to write regular columns for women’s magazines. Dawn’s favourite book, and the one she is most proud of, is titled “Live Well to 101”. In it she looks at all the factors that influence healthy longevity and meets centenarians living fulfilled lives who share their secrets with her. She is passionate about empowering people to adopt healthy lifestyle changes.
The awards ceremony will take place from midday on 22 May at the QEII Centre in London. Notable figures from across the health sector will be joining Dawn to present awards to our incredible finalists.
