Guddi Singh's biography

At a glance

  • Paediatric doctor and global public health advocate
  • TV presenter on BBC, Channel 4, and more
  • Expert in health equity and social justice
Dr Guddi Singh is a paediatric doctor in London with extensive experience in global public health and as a TV presenter. She is passionate about social justice and health equity. With her policy experience at the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Health Education England (HEE), as well as her clinical experience in various countries such as India, the US, Australia, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda, she has gained a global perspective on health despite being based in the UK. As a TV broadcaster, Dr Guddi has made appearances on various outlets including the BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Al-Jazeera, and Sky News. Her first presenting role was as the host of BBC Two's "Babies: Their Wonderful World," which was the largest study on early child development ever attempted. In the award-winning documentary "Why is COVID Killing People of Colour?", Dr Guddi's expertise was instrumental in analyzing and addressing racial inequality during the global pandemic. This investigative approach was also followed in two BBC Two Horizon specials and Channel 4's "How to Avoid a Second Wave," which critically examined the UK's politics, policies, and handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, Dr Guddi hosted BBC Two's "Your Body Uncovered," a six-part series that utilized augmented reality to help patients understand their everyday medical conditions—the first time this had been shown on-screen. Apart from her television work, Dr Guddi has combined her interdisciplinary expertise with accessible public communication in other formats. She has written extensively, including for The Guardian newspaper, on topics she actively campaigns for, such as the right to public healthcare, COVID-19, health inequality, air pollution, arts in health, and child poverty. Dr Guddi also regularly contributes to radio and podcasts, where she chairs live events, engages in intellectual debates, and conducts interviews with best-selling authors for the Intelligence Squared podcast. Dr Guddi is committed to "humanizing" healthcare and is currently conducting research on the social dimensions of disease and illness for her PhD, exploring what this means for 21st-century medicine.

How do I book a speaker with PepTalk?

Can I book a speaker who isn't listed on the PepTalk website?

Yes. If a speaker isn't listed, tell PepTalk their name and the team will approach them for you. The network extends well beyond the public roster, and PepTalk regularly books speakers who don't appear on the site. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with the name.

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.

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.

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.

Can I book a speaker for a virtual or hybrid event?

Yes. Most PepTalk speakers deliver virtual and hybrid sessions with live Q&A, and virtual keynotes usually cost less than in-person because there is no travel. Tell us your platform and format and we'll match speakers experienced in online delivery. Start at getapeptalk.com.

How do I brief an insights speaker on my organisation's strategic context?

Share your organisation's top 3 strategic priorities, current challenges, and the audience's role in delivering them. A simple one-page brief works perfectly. PepTalk speakers use this context to tailor insights that feel genuinely relevant — making your event far more impactful.

Can event entertainers customise their act for my company or industry?
