Ranj Singh

Why organisations work with Dr Ranj Singh

• Clinical authority on health and wellbeing, drawn from active NHS paediatric emergency practice and membership of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, not a wellness brand.
• A broadcast track record that translates into the room: five years as resident doctor on ITV’s This Morning, two BAFTA Children’s Awards for Get Well Soon, and a Sunday Times bestseller in Save Money Lose Weight.
• First-person credibility on LGBTQ+ inclusion as a Sikh-heritage gay clinician, recognised with the 2019 Attitude Award for advocacy on ethnic minority and LGBTQ+ representation.
• A communicator who has spent a career simplifying medical information for non-specialist audiences, including pandemic misinformation work, which means complex health and inclusion content lands with employees who would tune out a textbook talk.

Biography

Most workforces have heard the wellbeing message before. They have sat through resilience modules, downloaded the meditation app, and still report record sickness absence. The reason is rarely the content. It is who is delivering it.

That is the problem Singh’s profile is built to solve. He is a working NHS paediatric emergency doctor and a member of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, with the clinical grounding to talk about physical and mental health without slipping into the language of corporate wellness. Five years as the resident doctor on ITV’s This Morning, alongside two BAFTA Children’s Awards for Get Well Soon, gave him the rarer skill of making medicine intelligible to viewers who are not patients yet.

The same mix shapes his work on inclusion. As a gay clinician from a Sikh background, Singh writes and speaks about LGBTQ+ representation with the authority of someone who has lived the question. The Attitude Award in 2019 recognised that body of media advocacy. His Sunday Times bestseller Save Money Lose Weight, columns for Attitude and NetDoctor, and his pandemic work countering health misinformation extend the same instinct into print and public health.

In February 2025 Canterbury Christ Church University awarded him an honorary doctorate for his contribution to public life and medical science, a useful marker of how seriously the clinical and academic community takes the broadcast persona.
