Media doctor Dawn Harper is best-known as one of the co-presenters on Channel Four’s popular Embarrassing Illnesses and Embarrassing Bodies series. She also still works as a GP, based in Gloucestershire, at an NHS Surgery in Stroud and runs private clinics focusing on women’s health.

Dr Dawn is a strong supporter of the charity, especially its work to help sick and vulnerable babies, as two of her three children were born prematurely, one at just 32 weeks. In 2009 she recruited a group of fellow TV and radio doctors to form Team GP for the charity’s annual London to Paris bike ride, which she has now done three times. Having been bitten by the cycling bug, Dawn has also taken part in our Action 3 Cities and Action DIVA Warwickshire rides.
