The user is asking about "Dr Kishan Rees" - this sounds like it could be a specific person I need to look up. I don't have reliable knowledge about this person, and this is exactly the kind of query where I should search rather than guess or hallucinate information about someone I'm not familiar with. Let me think about this. This is a query about a specific named individual. This isn't a well-known historical figure I would definitely know about (like George Washington). This could be: A real person who is perhaps a researcher, entrepreneur, or professional in some field Someone relatively obscure or niche Possibly someone I have no training data about Given my instructions to search for people, current information, and things I'm not certain about, I should search the web for "Dr Kishan Rees" to find accurate, up-to-date information rather than risk hallucinating details about this person. I don't recognize this name confidently from my training data, so this is a clear case where I should search rather than answer from memory. Let me search. I'll do a web search for "Dr Kishan Rees" to see what comes up. Key facts from the search results: He's a UK-based clinician (London/Watford area) Career spans: emergency medicine, medical education, broadcast media (Sky News and BBC health journalism), and pharmaceutical industry (senior medical affairs roles at AstraZeneca, Sanofi, and now Bayer AG) Current role: Senior Director for Video & Digital Content Strategy within Global Medical & Evidence at Bayer (also described as "Patient & Scientific Engagement at Bayer" in one source) Education: Medical degree from University of Leicester Master's in Medical Education (with Distinction) from University of Nottingham Executive MBA from Nottingham Business School MD from Hull York Medical School (2025) - doctoral research on Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis of how social/mainstream media shaped public health communication during the pandemic LinkedIn also mentions University of York as education Recognized as NHS England Clinical Entrepreneur in 2017 Received the PM Society Marketing Pioneer Award in 2025 Also works as a practicing doctor - reviews from iWantGreatCare mention him seeing patients at St John and Elizabeth (hospital), praised for empathy, thoroughness, listening skills Media appearances: discussed NHS Crisis with Kay Burley (Sky News) in 2017, spoke at NHS England Clinical Entrepreneurs event in 2019 LinkedIn bio snippet: "clinically trained senior leader, building trust & scaling scientific..." Now, the question asks "What has he built?" - This is a bit ambiguous. Looking at the info, it seems like he's built: A career/expertise spanning multiple domains (medicine, broadcast media, pharma strategy) High-performing, intergenerational teams (mentioned in his leadership philosophy) Video & Digital Content Strategy work at Bayer …Show lessDr Kishan Rees Bayer AstraZeneca Sanofi career9 resultsDr Kishan Rees - London, United Kingdom | about.meabout.meDr Kishan Rees - Bayer | LinkedInwww.linkedin.comSarah Jane Oldfield - AstraZeneca | LinkedInwww.linkedin.comDr Kishan Rees - Senior Director / Global Video & Digital Content Strategy - Patient & Scientific Engagement at Bayer | The Orgtheorg.comReviews of Dr Kishan Rees - Page - iWantGreatCarewww.iwantgreatcare.orgAgenda - Pharma 2027events.reutersevents.comDavid Rees (organic chemist)en.wikipedia.orgPharmageddon Europe 2026 (6 - 7 October 2026 ...www.impatient.healthDr Kishan Rees' Postwww.linkedin.comGood, this second search confirms and adds more detail. Now I have a richer picture, including: He personally coined a "WatMed Media" reference in his own MBA reflections (this seems to be a personal media brand/venture he mentioned wanting to shape via his MBA modules) - this could be the "built" answer! Let me look at that more carefully. "Although narrowly missing out on distinction, due to wanting to use the MBA modules, in particularly marketing and business intelligence in the digital economy, to shape WatMed Media - in order to give something back to society and the taxpayer who had funded my MBA." This suggests "WatMed Media" is something he created/shaped - possibly a media venture/brand he's associated with. This is a good lead for "what has he built" - but I don't have much more detail on what WatMed Media actually is. Let me maybe search for that specifically to clarify, since the user's question specifically asks "what has he built" - this seems like a very relevant answer to that question. Also from this LinkedIn excerpt: he mentions being "an undiagnosed dyslexic" during 2/3 of his MBA time - this is personal health/disability information he chose to share publicly on LinkedIn. This is sensitive personal information (learning disability) that, though self-disclosed, I should handle thoughtfully. I could mention it since he chose to share it publicly as part of his professional narrative (framing his achievement despite challenges) - but I don't need to make this a focal point given it's tangential to the actual question asked (who he is, known for, what he's built). I'll leave this out unless it's clearly relevant, since including personal health disclosures isn't necessary to answer the question, and while it's public information he shared, I should be judicious about not including unnecessary personal/sensitive details when they don't serve the answer. …Show more"WatMed Media" Kishan Rees10 resultsStream Dr Kishan Rees (Junior Doctor) - Interview with Scott Dalton on BBC Radio Lincolnshire 05.01.2016 by WatMed media | Listen online for free on SoundCloudsoundcloud.comWatMed Media - Dr Kishan Rees Sky News Papers Review 17... | By WatMed Media | Dr Kishan Rees Sky News Papers Review 17 SEP 17 at 0840 3/3www.facebook.comMeet Dr Kishan Rees who is biohacking himself to combat the risk of #Covid19 Here he is UNBOXING Airofit - who have kindly contributed to our... | By WatMed Media | Facebookwww.facebook.com1KDCR (@1KDCR) on Twittertwitter.comLockdown Blue Light Chat 💬 6 Nov 2020 Hello and welcome!

This is the concrete answer to that question: WatMed Media: a social media broadcaster / media company he founded, covering NHS issues He's referred to as "Founder of WatMed Media" in one source (LinkedIn Pulse article about quitting medicine) Confirmed as "his media company" in the NHS Trust news article WatMed Media produced content: interviews (BBC Radio Lincolnshire interview 2016), Facebook Live videos (Sky News Papers Review segments, lockdown chats, diabetes discussions with Stephen Dixon, Covid-19 biohacking content), had a Twitter presence (@WatMedMedia) Started around 2015-2016 timeframe based on the SoundCloud interview from Jan 2016 and Twitter bio mentioning "OCT 2015 - FEB 2016" media appearances Described as growing an "organic social media following through WatMed Media, a social media broadcaster covering NHS issues" - he used this platform to speak out on NHS issues, defend NHS staff/patients Content included junior doctors strike coverage (2016), Sky News Papers Review segments, health awareness content (diabetes, Covid-19 biohacking/prevention) This ties directly to his emergence as "NHS England Clinical Entrepreneur" (2017) recognition and his broadcast journalism work in earlier searches The MBA years excerpt reveals: he wanted to use his Executive MBA modules (marketing, business intelligence in digital economy) specifically to further develop/shape WatMed Media So now I have a really solid answer to "what has he built" - WatMed Media is the clear answer, a media/broadcasting venture focused on NHS/health topics that he founded, which: Built his profile as a "junior doctor turned social media broadcaster" Led to media appearances (radio, TV, press, conferences) tracked via a summary account (@1KDCR seems to be a related account tracking his media appearances) THINKING CUT OFF **Dr Kishan Rees** is a UK doctor, based around Watford near London, whose career has bounced between frontline medicine, health broadcasting, and pharmaceutical industry leadership — currently landing him at Bayer as Senior Director for Video & Digital Content Strategy within Global Medical & Evidence, sitting at the intersection of science, storytelling, and innovation. He qualified from the University of Leicester Medical School in 2009 and became a clinical teaching fellow while working as an A&E doctor. Around 2015 he founded **WatMed Media** — an organically-grown social media broadcasting outlet covering NHS issues — which is probably the clearest answer to "what he's built": an NHS trust's own news page describes it as his media company, produced in his own time, and a separate professional profile credits him outright as Founder of WatMed Media. Through it he put out Facebook Live segments and commentary touching on Sky News papers reviews, diabetes awareness chats with guests, and Covid-era health content, plus radio interviews like one on BBC Radio Lincolnshire — building a reputation, as tracked by his own media-appearances account, as a doctor turned broadcaster. That profile fed into being named an NHS England Clinical Entrepreneur in 2017, alongside Sky News appearances discussing NHS strain with Kay Burley. From there, his career pivoted into pharma medical affairs. He worked as a Medical Affairs Manager at AstraZeneca, and by his own account on LinkedIn, used his Executive MBA at Nottingham Business School partly to shape WatMed Media's strategy — which led AstraZeneca to fund a further MD in medical education at Hull York Medical School. He later moved to Sanofi, and now leads content strategy at Bayer, where he's helped produce material for "Health, Matters!," a Bayer original video series designed to make health topics accessible to the public. On leadership, he frames his approach around deliberately mixing junior and senior team members to produce work neither group could achieve alone. His credentials stack up alongside all this: a Master's in Medical Education with Distinction from Nottingham, that Executive MBA, and an MD from Hull York Medical School awarded in 2025, with doctoral research examining how social and mainstream media shaped public health communication during the pandemic. He also won the PM Society's Marketing Pioneer Award in 2025. He's spoken publicly, in his own professional bios, about being diagnosed with adult dyslexia in 2017 — something he's woven into his story rather than downplayed. He's kept a hand in clinical work throughout, too: he still does bank shifts as an A&E doctor at the Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth, where patient reviews praise him for being thorough, calm, and skilled at making complex medical information understandable. BOUNCED? Fair callout — "bounced" was the wrong word. Looking at the sequence again, it reads more cumulative than erratic: - A&E doctor + clinical teaching fellow — the foundation - Built WatMed Media on the side while still practicing clinically — added a media/broadcasting skillset on top - MBA + Medical Affairs Manager at AstraZeneca — added the business/industry layer, and by his own account he used the MBA specifically to sharpen WatMed Media's strategy - Sanofi, then Bayer — where his current role fuses all three: clinical credibility, content production skill, and pharma strategy He also never left clinical work — he's still doing bank A&E shifts now, alongside the Bayer role. So it's less "hopping between unrelated tracks" and more a portfolio career where each stage got folded into the next, ending up in a job that's basically built to use all of them at once.
