Dr Punam Krishan is a practising NHS GP and a popular media personality based in Glasgow, Scotland. As resident doctor on the popular daytime show BBC Morning Live and a contributor to BBC Radio Scotland's Phone In Surgery, she addresses a wide range of health and lifestyle topics, making medical information accessible to the public.
Punam's journey has been shaped by her experiences as a mother of two young children, which has fostered her specialist interest in maternal and family health, as well as mental health. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she co-founded The Medic Mum Podcast with a fellow GP mother, aiming to provide parents with straightforward, relatable health advice. This initiative resonated with many, leading to the podcast being shortlisted for Best Podcast at the Glomama Awards.
In addition to her media work, Punam is an accomplished writer, with contributions to publications such as Vogue, Hello, and Grazia. She serves as a columnist for The i Newspaper and was recognised for her work in journalism, being shortlisted for the British Journalism Awards for Comment Journalism. Her literary contributions include the children's book How to be a doctor and other life-saving jobs, with her second book, You and Your Body, set for release in 2025.
Punam proudly identifies as Scottish-Indian and actively promotes cultural representation. Her 2024 turn on Strictly Come Dancing featured a traditional Bollywood routine, celebrated by the BBC as a significant moment for cultural visibility.
With a diverse background and a commitment to bridging the gap between health and everyday life, Krishan continues to inspire and inform audiences through her various platforms.
