TV's Dr Amir Khan came to prominence as one of Channel 5's GPs Behind Closed Doors.
He's now a regular on BBC Breakfast and ITV's Lorraine, between seeing patients as and NHS GP in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
Dr Amir has supported Samaritans for a number of years, helping us to raise awareness and regularly signposting to our services on his social channels and in press articles/interviews.
For our 2021 Christmas campaign, Dr Amir filmed advice on how to look after your own and other’s well-being during the festive period. This video was sent out to all supporters who donated to our Christmas Star Appeal.
In January 2022 some of Dr Amir’s advice was used to help promote our NHS and Social Care helpline. These awareness ads targeted NHS and social care workers to make sure they know about this valuable resource, particularly over the tough winter period.
As an avid gardener, for Mental Health Awareness Week 2022 Dr Amir was interviewed for Gardener’s World for their podcast and magazine, highlighting the many benefits gardening can have on our well-being.
