Dr Miriam Stoppard has been at the forefront of the revolution in
health information since she began her writing and broadcasting
career in the early 1970s.
Since that time she has become well known to millions all over the
world as a leading authority on parenting, baby and child care,
women's health, and many other topics from healthy eating to
relationships and sex. In 2000 she set up Miriam Stoppard LifeTime,
of which she is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to extend her
philosophy into products and services.
Her blend of medical training (she studied medicine at the
universities of London and Durham), business connections (she has
been the Director of a number of companies ranging from
pharmaceuticals to interior design), and direct experience of the
problems of ordinary people (she answers readers' letters in a
column in The Daily Mirror, read by 10 million people every day),
have made her uniquely qualified as a writer on health matters.
What's more, she is a parent herself - she has two sons of her own
and four step-children - and is now also a grandparent. She knows
from her own experience the stresses placed on modern families
trying to do their best for their children in a world of uncertain
and conflicting advice.
Dr Miriam Stoppard's ideas and approach, developed and informed by
the experience of more than 30 years of writing and broadcasting,
remain totally fresh and up-to-date. In 1998 she was made a Fellow
of the Royal College of Physicians in recognition of her work in
promoting healthcare information, a well-deserved honour that will
be endorsed by everyone who has benefited from her practical and
sympathetic approach.
