Dr Punam Krishan is a practising NHS GP and a popular media personality based in Glasgow, Scotland. As resident doctor on the daytime show BBC Morning Live and a contributor to BBC Radio Scotland's Phone In Surgery, she covers a wide range of health and lifestyle topics, making medical information accessible to the public. Punam's own experience as a mother of two young children has shaped her specialist interest in maternal and family health, as well as mental health.
Alongside her media work, Punam is an accomplished writer, contributing to publications including Vogue, Hello and Grazia. She is a columnist for The i Newspaper and was shortlisted for the British Journalism Awards for Comment Journalism. She is the author of three books, with her latest, The Mother Load, exploring the challenges mothers face from postpartum life and beyond, and hosts Vitality's Good Health Edit podcast.
Punam is proud to identify as Scottish-Indian and actively promotes cultural representation. Her 2024 appearance on Strictly Come Dancing featured a traditional Bollywood routine, which the BBC celebrated as a significant moment for cultural visibility. She is also an experienced event host, having recently led a Q&A for Warner Bros and Discovery+, and she partners with brands including Fitbit, Maltesers and Huggies.
Her clinical background as a practising GP, combined with years of broadcast experience, allows her to reach diverse audiences without losing accuracy or nuance. As a mother of two, she brings particular authority to conversations on family health and mental wellbeing. Audiences leave with practical, evidence-based takeaways on managing their health and supporting their families, delivered with the warmth and clarity she is known for on national television.
With a diverse background and a commitment to bridging the gap between health and everyday life, Punam continues to inform and inspire audiences across her platforms.
