Jules Montague's biography

At a glance

  • Consultant neurologist specialising in dementia
  • Radio host and investigative journalist
  • Bestselling author of Lost and Found
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.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I book entertainment and speakers as a package?

Yes! At PepTalk, you can absolutely bundle entertainment and speakers into one seamless package. It's a great way to create a fuller event experience while enjoying simplified booking and better value. Our team handles everything together, making the process effortless for you.

Can I request autographs, personal greetings, signed merchandise, or fan mail from the speakers?

Sorry, we do not accept requests for autographs, signed merchandise, fan mail, or any non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How can I report an issue or make changes to an expert profile?

If you notice something that needs attention or have any queries regarding an expert speaker profile, please email us at experts@getapeptalk.com, and we’ll be happy to assist.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Help, I need a last-minute speaker for my event!

No problem! We often handle last-minute requests and can secure or replace a speaker, comedian, awards or event host quickly — almost anywhere in the world. However, speaker availability might be limited as the event date approaches. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with your requirements.
