LOOSE WOMEN PRESENTS LOOSE DOCTORS SPECIAL

On Wednesday 6th August, Dr Amir Khan, Dr Zoe Williams, Dr Hilary Jones and Dr Nighat Arif will join the panel for the first-ever Loose Doctors special, from 12.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX. 

Continuing Loose Women's conversations around mental and physical health, this dedicated episode will examine the health issues that matter most to viewers and get to the heart of how we can all improve our own wellbeing. 

During the lunchtime show, the four ITV Daytime doctors will tackle the taboo topics that people are often afraid to ask about, reveal how you can make the most of your own doctor’s appointments and share their top tips for living a longer and happier life. 

Ahead of the episode, Dr Amir said: “This is the first time four of ITV’s Daytime doctors will be on the panel together to look at the health issues that affect us all. We’ll be sharing our expert medical advice and having some very candid conversations about the things that our patients are often too embarrassed to talk about, but shouldn’t be, and hopefully giving them the confidence to make the most of their appointments. I’m really looking forward to the episode and hope that viewers will enjoy it, as well as learning some important and potentially life saving tips too.” 

Dr Nighat: “I couldn't be happier sharing a panel with some dear colleagues and friends for this special episode. We will be opening up on some of our own heartfelt health stories and having a number of important conversations about how viewers can look after themselves, as well as sharing our top self-examination tips. As doctors, we are also humans and hope that by sharing a little part of our own lives, our patients and viewers know that they're not alone and sometimes, we’re going through similar things to them.” 

Dr Zoe: “I’m so excited for this episode of Loose Doctors. While the four of us know each other well, we’ll be sharing some of our own stories and experiences, just as our patients bravely share theirs with us. We hope this offers viewers the chance to get to know us better and helps people feel more comfortable opening up. We're going to be tackling some of the taboo topics people might not always want to discuss, to empower you to feel confident in understanding and checking your own body, and knowing when to seek help."

Dr Hilary said: “I think viewers are going to love the first-ever Loose Doctors episode. You'll see four of ITV's Daytime doctors open up about their personal journeys whilst offering some of our tips to look after you and your family. I hope that viewers will learn a lot and be entertained at the same time as we open the Loose Doctors doors for the first time.” 

From their heartfelt stories and health scares, to professional advice, join the Loose Doctors on Wednesday 6th August from 12.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
