GP and expert in sexual health and women’s health
Dr Radha Modgil is the dynamic, yet approachable, medical presenter of the television series ‘The Sex Education Show’ and ‘Make My Body Younger’. 

Her media career is continuing to blossom.

She graduated with honours from Cambridge University and Imperial College in 2003 and embarked on her general medical rotation.  Over the next 4 years, she worked in over 12 medical specialties including A&E, Cardiology, Chest and Allergy Medicine, Cancer Medicine and Palliative Care, as well as Sexual Health and HIV. She gained a wealth of experience in hospital medicine before she decided general practice was for her.

Radha first appeared by chance on BBC 1 at the tender age of 24 in ‘City Hospital’ whilst working her usual shift in St Thomas’ trauma unit.  She soon realised she loved educating the public about their health and had a dynamic flair for presenting.

She went on to become a member of the Association of Broadcasting Doctors in 2006 and dabbled in Event Medicine as the doctor for Earls Court Exhibitions.

Her sister found an advert for a doctor to appear in ‘Make my Body Younger’ (BBC3) and it was in this series she first captured the public’s attention with her jargon-fee explanations and her common-sense yet empathetic approach.  She lived with 20-somethings who were coping with addiction and obesity, trying to tackle their habits.  The series worked in conjunction with the National Obesity Forum.

Owing to the success of this series, Radha was asked to be the medical presenter of ‘The Sex Education Show’ (Channel 4).  This hard-hitting, no-nonsense series tackled sensitive and taboo issues surrounding teenage sex and suited Radha’s style down to the ground.  She managed to present the hard facts to teens and adults in a frank yet empathetic manner.

The second series was a huge hit, tackling issues of pornography and teenagers and Radha filmed several interactive factual videos for the very popular ‘Sexperience’ website, as well as travelling around the UK with the ‘Sex Education Roadshow’.

She has also been working promoting ‘Learning at Work Day’ with advice about general health, mental well-being and stress management at work.  She has contributed to the Mouth Cancer Foundation website and BBC Headroom’s Wellbeing Guide to Addictions regarding smoking cessation.

She writes regularly as the ‘Body Expert’ for Bliss Magazine Online, answering teenagers’ worries and problems.

She has expertise in Sexual Health, Addiction and Women’s health to name a few, but her day to day work as a GP partner in Berkshire allows her expertise in a wealth of specialties.
