The future of the medical profession is digital.

From national conferences to universities and companies, I speak on how healthcare professionals and organisations use digital platforms to communicate clearly and open doors responsibly.

15+ keynotes and workshops across the UK

What I speak on, and who I speak to

Medical schools, national student conferences, and leadership events. Every talk is tailored to its audience, from students finding their voice to clinicians, organisations, and industry teams shaping how healthcare is communicated. I also have experience hosting cultural events.

Dev is a hugely engaging speaker on creating tangible impact using social media in medicine, and was wonderful to our audience of medical students at the BMA.
