Transform healthcare understanding with Dr Jules Montague, speaker, neurologist and investigative author. Jules works with organisations to explore brain science, medical ethics and global health, delivering evidence-based insights featured on BBC, Guardian and Sky News.
Dr Jules Montague is a neurologist and author with a deep commitment to understanding the complexities of the human brain and the medical systems that shape patient care. Her work spans clinical practice, investigative journalism, and writing, offering insights into the intersection of medicine, identity, and global health.
Originally from Dublin, she studied medicine at Trinity College before moving to London, where she became a consultant neurologist. Her clinical focus included conditions such as Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and brain tumours, with a sub-specialty in young-onset dementia. In intensive care, she worked with patients who had suffered catastrophic brain injuries, navigating some of the most challenging aspects of neurological care. She also volunteers as a doctor in Mozambique and India, returning to Assam, where her parents once lived, to contribute to medical efforts there.
Beyond clinical practice, she has built a reputation as an investigative writer, reporting for the Guardian, Observer, BBC, and others. Her work has covered diverse topics, from PTSD in refugees to pseudoscientific claims in medicine. Her investigations have led to global corporations retracting misleading advertisements and have exposed the ethical challenges within medical and technological advancements. She co-presented the BBC Radio 4 podcast Dementia: Unexpected Stories of the Mind, further exploring the realities of neurological conditions.
Jules is the author of Lost and Found, a book examining how memory and identity shift in conditions like dementia and brain injury. Her follow-up, The Imaginary Patient, explores the biases and historical influences that shape medical diagnosis. Her work has been featured widely, including on BBC Radio 4, Sky News, and in major newspapers. With a career that bridges medicine, investigative journalism, and public engagement, she offers a unique perspective on how science, health, and society intersect.
Dr. Jules Montague, a renowned consultant neurologist and bestselling author, offers invaluable insights into brain health and diagnosis. With experience from BBC to TEDx, her expertise addresses pressing challenges in healthcare. Book her now to enhance your team's understanding of neurological issues.
