About the speaker

Dr Evie Kemp spent most of her career working as lead consultant in occupational medicine at the Centre for Occupational Health and Wellbeing, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford. She has a special interest in doctors’ health and wellbeing and most of her patients were doctors. However, after working for many years in the NHS, she took a sabbatical 4 years ago and never went back!

She now divides her time between Israel and Oxford and combines running workshops for doctors, lecturing medical students and working as the Director of Medical Student Wellbeing at the Technion American Medical School in Haifa. She has developed and leads a new 12-week course for first year students looking at their own health and wellbeing, plus introduction to lifestyle medicine including nutrition, exercise, stress management and behaviour change. Evie and her husband Simon also founded and run a business which produces haskap berry products made from berries grown on their farm in Nova Scotia, Canada. As Haskapa research director, she coordinates haskap berry scientific knowledge and academic research.
