Originally from Dublin, she studied medicine at Trinity College before moving to London, where she became a consultant neurologist. Her clinical focus included conditions such as Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and brain tumours, with a sub-specialty in young-onset dementia. In intensive care, she worked with patients who had suffered catastrophic brain injuries, navigating some of the most challenging aspects of neurological care. She also volunteers as a doctor in Mozambique and India, returning to Assam, where her parents once lived, to contribute to medical efforts there.
Beyond clinical practice, she has built a reputation as an investigative writer, reporting for the Guardian, Observer, BBC, and others. Her work has covered diverse topics, from PTSD in refugees to pseudoscientific claims in medicine. Her investigations have led to global corporations retracting misleading advertisements and have exposed the ethical challenges within medical and technological advancements. She co-presented the BBC Radio 4 podcast Dementia: Unexpected Stories of the Mind, further exploring the realities of neurological conditions.
Jules is the author of Lost and Found, a book examining how memory and identity shift in conditions like dementia and brain injury. Her follow-up, The Imaginary Patient, explores the biases and historical influences that shape medical diagnosis. Her work has been featured widely, including on BBC Radio 4, Sky News, and in major newspapers. With a career that bridges medicine, investigative journalism, and public engagement, she offers a unique perspective on how science, health, and society intersect.
