About the Author

Dr Ranj Singh is not just a NHS paediatrician and BAFTA-award-winning TV presenter, but he is also a Sunday Times best-selling author and musical theatre star. He is a co-host and resident doctor on BBC1's leading daytime series Morning Live. Off air, his work can be found in magazines and websites where he gives expert advice on a range of physical and mental health matters. Ranj's extensive training and experience make him well-qualified to cover a variety of medical topics and he is also one of the only British TV doctors to specialise in children, young people, and families. Ranj has received an Honorary Doctorate from Canterbury Christ Church University in recognition of his achievements, including his contribution to promoting awareness of medical science, good health, and equality of opportunity.
