Dr Ranj Singh to deliver keynote speech at BSAVA Virtual Congress
Dr Ranj Singh will deliver the keynote speech at BVAVA Congress 2021.
NHS doctor and presenter will share practical wellbeing advice for coping during a pandemic.

NHS doctor and television presenter Dr Ranj Singh has been announced as a keynote speaker for the 2021 BSAVA Virtual Congress (25- 27 March 2021 ).

When the COVID-19 pandemic started, Dr Ranj stepped back from his media work to focus on supporting the NHS in his role as a paediatric emergency medicine specialist.

During the event, he will be sharing insights into the mental health challenges of working in a caring profession during the constraints of COVID-19.

“Maintaining wellbeing is all about doing the basics right,” he said. “We are in a pandemic and people are under intense pressure - from work, from home life, from a health perspective and so much more. So, despite everything going on around you, make sure you have a routine every day.

“Get out and about safely. Build some physical activity into your schedule. Nourish your body with everything it needs, and make sure you allow yourself some treats too! Take a moment for yourself every day to do something that makes you feel good.”

Dr Ranj is the second keynote speaker to be announced for the Congress and will join Dragons' Den entrepreneur Jenny Campbell and a third speaker set to be announced in February.

“We are delighted to welcome Dr Ranj as one of our three keynote speakers this year,” said BSAVA President Ian Ramsey. "One of the many advantages of Congress evolving into a virtual event for 2021 is that we can be more flexible and creative with our sessions and how we fulfil the needs and expectations of every member of the practice, from clinical, interactive, wellbeing and social perspectives. Our three keynote presentations are eagerly anticipated.”
