Dr Kishan Rees is a UK-based physician (Watford/London area) with an unusually hybrid career spanning clinical medicine, health broadcasting, and the pharmaceutical industry.

### Career path

He has more than 15 years of experience spanning emergency medicine, medical education, and health journalism for Sky News and BBC [[1]](https://about.me/drkishanrees). He still practices clinically too — patient reviews describe him seeing patients at the St John and Elizabeth Hospital in London, with reviewers praising his listening skills, empathy, and thoroughness [[3]](https://www.iwantgreatcare.org/doctors/dr-kishan-rees). From there his career moved into pharma medical affairs, with senior medical affairs roles at AstraZeneca and Sanofi, before his current position at Bayer as Senior Director for Video & Digital Content Strategy within Global Medical & Evidence — essentially overseeing how complex medical evidence gets communicated to healthcare professionals and patients [[1]](https://about.me/drkishanrees)[[2]](https://theorg.com/org/bayer/org-chart/dr-kishan-rees).

### Credentials

He holds a medical degree from the University of Leicester, a Master's in Medical Education (with Distinction) from the University of Nottingham, an Executive MBA from Nottingham Business School, and an MD from Hull York Medical School (2025), with doctoral research on how social and mainstream media shaped public health communication during the pandemic [[1]](https://about.me/drkishanrees).

### Recognition

NHS England named him a Clinical Entrepreneur in 2017, and in 2025 he received the PM Society Marketing Pioneer Award for his approach to medical content and digital strategy [[1]](https://about.me/drkishanrees). He's also appeared as a conference speaker (LinkedIn testimonials mention a talk at DMWF Global) [[4]](https://www.linkedin.com/in/drkishanrees/) and as a guest on The Healthtech Podcast [[6]](https://rephonic.com/podcasts/the-hs-health-tech-podcast).

### On "what he's built"

This is worth being precise about. There isn't a specific company or product tied to his name that I could find. What he — and his own professional bio — describes building is more career- and team-based: cross-disciplinary expertise across medicine, media, and pharma strategy, plus, by his own account, high-performing intergenerational teams at Bayer that combine different levels of experience and perspective [[1]](https://about.me/drkishanrees). His NHS "Clinical Entrepreneur" recognition is a fellowship/programme rather than confirmation of a specific venture — other people in that same programme have clearly named startups attached to them (e.g., specific apps or clinics) [[5]](https://nhscep.com/our-clinical-entrepreneurs/), but there's no equivalent visible for him.

### Caveat

Several of the more superlative descriptions here (e.g., framing him as one of a kind in his field) come from his own self-authored bio rather than independent profiles. The factual career/education details are solid — consistent across LinkedIn, The Org, and his bio [[1]](https://about.me/drkishanrees)[[2]](https://theorg.com/org/bayer/org-chart/dr-kishan-rees)[[4]](https://www.linkedin.com/in/drkishanrees/) — but the evaluative language should be read as self-description.
