Our keynote speakers


In the years running up to Labour's 1997 landslide win, and throughout their time in power, Alastair led communications strategy and was also no stranger to controversy. He is one of four figures credited with creating the New Labour project, fighting numerous battles in their pursuit of modernisation, including with how the media portrayed the party. He was reviled by some parts of the media but still respected for his commitment, creativity, loyalty and work rate. After leaving frontline politics Alastair published his diaries (initially three volumes, but now standing at eight volumes) as well as other autobiographical books and novels, and has continued to write extensively on sport, politics, and increasingly on mental health from a personal, social and political perspective.
Since leaving politics Alastair has been candid about his personal experiences of depression, alcoholism and mental illness, frequently examining the links between work, stress and mental health. It's a subject he's tackled in numerous interviews, documentaries and podcasts, and in his books Living Better: How I Learned to Survive Depression and The Happy Depressive: In Pursuit of Personal and Political Happiness as well as in his novels.
Alastair works with many charities, as an advisor and often as a fund-raiser, including Leukaemia Research, Bloodwise, and a number of mental health charities including the Time to Change campaign and Alcohol Concern. He frequently contributes articles in the media including The Guardian, Telegraph and GQ, and co-hosts the podcast Football, Feminism and Everything in Between with his daughter Grace.
With humour and insight Alastair takes an insiders look at politics at home and abroad, as well as what it takes to be a successful leader (a subject he tackled in his book Winners: And How They Succeed). He also tackles reputation (his own and how others manage theirs), the media, mental health, and why people still ask him about The Thick of It so much.

He has been an NHS doctor for 32 years, a comedian for 23 years, a BBC broadcaster for 29 years and Private Eye’s medical correspondent for 27 years.
Phil qualified as a doctor in 1987, was a part time GP for 20 years, spent 5 years in sexual health and currently works as an associate specialist in paediatrics in an NHS team helping young people with chronic fatigue. Phil has been a Lecturer in Medical Communication at the Universities of Birmingham and Bristol.
As a journalist, he broke the story of the Bristol heart scandal in 1992, and gave evidence to the subsequent Public Inquiry. In 2012, Phil and Andrew Bousfield were shortlisted for the Martha Gellhorn Prize for investigative journalism for their Private Eye special report on the shocking treatment of NHS whistle-blowers, “Shoot the Messenger”. He has twice been named in the top 100 NHS Clinical Leaders by the Health Service Journal, and was voted Teacher of the Year by the medical students of Birmingham University. He was revalidated by the GMC in 2018 with the best patient satisfaction ratings his appraiser had ever seen (largely down to the fact that he is the only doctor in the NHS who gives 90-minute appointments).
Phil presented five series of “Trust Me, I’m a Doctor” on BBC2, and has appeared many times on “Have I Got News For You”, “The News Quiz”, “The Now Show” and “Countdown”. With David Spicer, Phil wrote five series of the medico-political satire “Polyoaks” for Radio 4, and five books including “Staying Alive” and “Sex, Sleep or Scrabble?”. Phil was half of the award-winning comedy junior doctor double act Struck Off and Die with Tony Gardner, and has done four UK solo comedy tours, teaching audiences how to pleasure themselves sensibly and take the pressure off the NHS.
His show, ‘Happy Birthday NHS?’ celebrated its 70th birthday and provided a road map for its salvation. It toured in 2018.
Phil presented his own BBC Radio Bristol show for 12 years, “Dr Phil’s Saturday Surgery” before being sacked by the BBC in August 2018 for tweeting that he would stand against his local MP, Jacob Rees- Mogg, at the next election. Having previously been assured he would only have to stand down during purdah, the BBC did a U-turn when they realised Rees-Mogg could demand his own radio show to broadcast to constituents. This story, and Phil’s subsequent campaign to become health secretary, was featured in Phil’s 2019 Edinburgh Fringe show “Vote Dr Phil”. His other fringe show, “The Great Health Con”, explored how and why we spend trillions pursuing ‘health’ without understanding what it means.
Phil speaks widely on the daily habits of health – CLANGERS (Connect, Learn, (be) Active, Notice, Give back, Eat well, Relax, Sleep) – and tries to practice what he preaches. Phil has been married to Jo, a GP, for 26 years and she is the main reason he is so healthy. They live in North East Somerset, just a condom’s throw away from Jacob Rees-Mogg. His hat is still in the ring to stand at the next election as an independent candidate promoting intelligent kindness and health for all.
