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.

Dawn is also a public speaker and has delivered keynote speeches all over the world and hosted numerous award ceremonies. She is also an experienced meeting facilitator, working virtually, in person and in combination hybrid meetings. She has lots of experience working with simultaneous translation and is just as happy facilitating a meeting for 50 as she is for 1500.

When not at work, Dawn is a keen supporter of several charities, mostly supporting disadvantaged or disabled children. She lives in the Cotswolds in the UK with her husband Jack and their four Jack Russell Terriers and loves to spend time practising what she preaches, walking and cycling in the Cotswold Hills. During lockdown, she took up gardening and has found a new passion for growing fresh produce for the family.
