Dr Alex George

Dr Alex George first came to prominence when he took part in the 2018 series of Love Island, becoming a popular figure for his looks as well as his personality. Before his first brush with fame, Alex was working as an A&E Doctor, a career he initially went back to before also working as a GP. He now has a particular passion for mental health issues, following the sad suicide of his brother.

Determined to use his newfound public platform for good, he left his job as an A&E doctor in early 2022 to focus more on the mental health and wellbeing side to medicine. In 2021, Prime Minister Boris Johnson named Dr Alex George the UK Government’s Youth Ambassador for Mental Health thanks to his years of campaigning for greater mental health support.

From reality TV to Instagram to the British government, Alex now advises corporate clients on how to support their employees’ mental health.

More About Dr Alex George

DR ALEX GEORGE – LOVE ISLAND

Signing up to Love Island in 2018, Dr Alex George was hoping to find love; but instead, he won the heart of the nation. His down-to-earth and personable nature made him a fan favourite and gave him the platform he needed to improve people’s lives.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, he documented his frontline duties in his local hospital, taking to social media to highlight the negative effects of lockdown on young people struggling with their mental health. One of Alex’s biggest goals is to change the perception around mental health, comparing it to physical health. He believes that, just as physical health is taken seriously and steps are made to improve it, mental health is often thought about in a negative manner.

In the programme, he followed the journeys of a number of young British people who are living with mental health problems. He explored the difficulties they were having and looked into how local projects – some funded by Children in Need – are making a difference.

Testimonials

We were eager to work with Dr Alex after developing our Emotional Pillar within Consumer Experience for L’Oréal Professional Products Division. Alex is a great figure, doing some amazing things to raise awareness and amplify the topic of mental health and he did not disappoint. He inspired the delegates and got people thinking about the important topic. He was on time for every meeting and even when we made a last-minute date and time change he accepted and adapted without any complaints. Alex was inspiring, professional and relatable throughout and we will definitely be looking to work with him again.
