Dr Phil Hammond
Phil Hammond is a GP, writer, journalist, broadcaster, campaigner, comedian
and lecturer. He is currently a part-time GP in Keynsham and Lecturer in
Medical Communication at Bristol Medical School. He Previously lectured at
Birmingham Medical School and in 1995 received the Owen Wade Award for
Teacher of the Year. As a campaigning journalist, he was first to expose the
problems of paediatric heart surgery in Bristol which has now lead to the
largest Public Inquiry in British medical history. Phil has evidence to both
the phrases of the Inquiry, and has exposed many other examples of patchy
quality care as a journalist and as a presenter of BBC2's award winning and
highly controversial programme 'Trust Me I'm a Doctor'. The fifth series
started in February 2000 and the book of the same name, co-written with
Micheal Mosley, is a best seller.
Phil is not a "doctor-basher", but a fierce advocate for the freedom of high
quality information that allows users of the NHS and private sector to make
informed choices about their health. We will challenge the established
order, call the government and NHS to account, slaughter a few sacred caws
but above all be an advocate for patients. He is married to Jo, also a GP,
has 2 children (Will and Ellie) and lives in Somerset.
