Welcome to Dr Carol Cooper's home on the web.

Dr Carol Cooper is a prolific writer and broadcaster as well as a practising family doctor and mother of three boys, including twins. She graduated in medicine from Cambridge University. Following this, she spent several years in different hospital specialities, most recently rheumatology, before entering general practice soon after the birth of her first child.

Carol regularly appears on TV and radio, often giving expert medical opinions on topical health matters.

Carol has written several health and parenting books, including the outstandingly popular handbook Twins & Multiple Births. Most of her titles represent a fusion of her personal experience and her professional expertise. As a journalist, her columns have appeared in a variety of medical journals and consumer publications as diverse as The Sun and the Lancet. She is The Sun's doctor and is the medical advisor on the newly launched Fit Squad Diet website.

A single parent, Carol finds that her three sons, now all young adults, provide endless inspiration as well as welcome relief from medical practice. Not surprisingly, much of her work is humorous and all of it is highly accessible. She believes that, no matter how hard you work at medicine, you can never reach as many people with a stethoscope as you can with a pen.

Although Carol writes and broadcasts on many health topics from meningitis to athlete's foot, her special interests are child and family medicine, men's health, sports medicine, twins and higher multiple births, and arthritis/rheumatism.
