Sir Jonathan Van-Tam (or JVT as he is widely known) is the former Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England and a motivational speaker.
What are Sir Jonathan Van-Tam’s main achievements?
Sir Jonathan Van-Tam gained national prominence as the Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England during the COVID-19 pandemic. During this uncertain time, Sir Jonathan and his colleagues became regular fixtures on our TVs, giving crucial, and often life-saving, advice about lockdowns, vaccinations and social distancing.
Jonathan provided integral advice and evidence regarding the pandemic to the British government throughout this period, as he is also an expert in epidemiology, vaccinology and antiviral drugs. He is one of very few doctors to have worked in direct healthcare, public health, academia, the pharma industry, public health agencies, the World Health Organization and UK central Government.
What kind of topics does Sir Jonathan Van-Tam cover at events?
- Motivation – Having to make vital decisions about the health of an entire country is something many of us can’t imagine – but it was Sir Jonathan’s reality during the COVID-19 pandemic. This time taught him a range of motivational skills and lessons that he can bring to every event.
- Politics – Sir Jonathan became a de facto political figure during the pandemic, working alongside Prime Minister Boris Johnson and other major government personnel. As a politics speaker, he can share these experiences with your guests.
- Communication – JVT became a household name for his no-nonsense, no-spin, straight-talking communication style and the demystification of complex science. He was later awarded the Royal Society Attenborough Prize for public engagement in science.
- Leadership under pressure – JVT knows about leadership under pressure in complex ecosystems and can explain how to to do and how to survive it.
