Breaking Stigmas and Health Educating on TV
Dr. Anisha’s debut on screen was featuring in the ‘No Butts’ campaign on ITV Lorraine show and ITV news back in 2021, a campaign launched with the late Dame Deborah James. The aim of the campaign was to dispel the stigmas surrounding Bowel Cancer.
Since then, she has never looked back and appears as a familiar face on ITV’s Lorraine, as well as featuring on the BBC, ITV news, and Talk TV. She also features in podcasts, magazines, and print media, breaking health taboos, discussing health headlines, challenging stigma and misinformation, raising awareness, and educating on a variety of health topics.
Dr. Anisha encourages healthy living and discusses a variety of topics encompassing her special interests in women’s health, mental health, and cancer awareness and screening. She has even shared her own colonoscopy on National TV to try to take away any fear and remove any stigma associated with the procedure.
As a TV doctor, Dr. Anisha is keen to break down complex medical information into understandable terms and maintains a friendly and approachable demeanor.
