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 sons, 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 many 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 honorary consultant in family medicine to Tamba, the Twins & Multiple Births Assocation.

A lone parent, Carol finds that her three sons, now all young adults, provide endless inspiration as well as welcome relief from medical practice. It's no surprise that much of her work is humorous and all of it is very accessible. She says that, no matter how hard you work as a medic, you reach more people with a pen than you ever can with a stethoscope.

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.
