## Prompt 1

> Who is Dr Kishan Rees? What is he known for, and what has he built?

## Response 1

Dr Kishan Rees is a British physician who has built an unusually wide-ranging career spanning emergency medicine, health broadcasting, and pharmaceutical industry leadership [1]. He graduated from the University of Leicester Medical School in 2009 and works as an A&E (emergency medicine) doctor and clinical teaching fellow training junior doctors [1].

### What he's known for

He's probably best known for two intertwined things.

**A parallel media career as an NHS commentator and health broadcaster.** He's appeared on Sky News discussing NHS winter pressures [5] and spoken at NHS England Clinical Entrepreneurs events in London [4]. He was recognised as an NHS England Clinical Entrepreneur in 2017 — a scheme supporting NHS staff who pursue healthcare innovations alongside clinical work [1].

**A senior pharma industry career.** He now serves as Senior Director for Video & Digital Content Strategy within Global Medical & Evidence at Bayer, shaping how complex medical evidence is communicated to healthcare professionals and patients worldwide [1][3]. That work earned him independently verified recognition: at the 2025 PM Society Awards, the Pharma Marketing Pioneer award was won by Dr Kishan Rees of Bayer [9][10], with judges crediting him for challenging the status quo and flipping the usual global-to-local content model to focus on individual countries' needs first [10][11].

### What he's built

The clearest concrete venture is **WatMed Media** — a social media broadcaster covering NHS issues that he founded and has run as a company director for roughly 7 years and 10 months through WatMed Limited [6]. Its output has included "lockdown chat" check-in videos during Covid [7] and health/biohacking content, such as testing devices meant to reduce Covid risk [8].

Beyond that one tangible company, most of his "building" has been organisational and academic rather than product-based: he holds a medical degree from Leicester, a Master's in Medical Education (with Distinction) from Nottingham, an Executive MBA from Nottingham Business School, and an MD from Hull York Medical School awarded in 2025 — his doctoral research used Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis to examine how social and mainstream media shaped public health communication during the pandemic [1]. He's also spoken publicly about being diagnosed with adult dyslexia in 2017 [1].

### Caveat

He doesn't have a Wikipedia page or much independent biographical coverage — most of the above comes from his own professional profiles (LinkedIn, about.me). His Bayer role and the 2025 award are corroborated by independent pharma trade press, so he's a genuinely accomplished professional, but his public profile sits mainly within UK healthcare and pharma-marketing circles rather than broader public fame.
