Who is Dr Anand Patel?
Dr Anand qualified in Medicine in 2000 from Kings College, London.
Previously, he left medicine to become a biology teacher and head of Sex Ed in 2004, before venturing back into medicine and qualifying as a GP in 2008.
When he’s not working as a GP in South London three days a week, he is at a centre for Men’s Health at Harley Street where he specialises in health, sexual function and testosterone issues affecting men.
Dr Anand was one of the first doctors in the UK to gain the Fellowship of the European Committee of Sexual Medicine in 2012 – the only accreditation in the field that is recognised in Europe.
He is also on the board of the British Society of Sexual Medicine, and the Primary Care Testosterone Advisory Group.
In his spare time, he trains doctors to become GPs and coaches them on how to speak to patients about the topic of sex and relationships.
It doesn’t stop there, with him also being the co-host of The Pleasure Podcast.
Does he have social media?
Yes, Dr Anand has just started a new Instagram account.
