Caleb Carter-West
Caleb Carter-West is a media personality, social advocate, and author, known for his fearless storytelling, sharp social commentary, and dedication to exposing hard-hitting truths. A former Governor of Neurological Disabilities for the NHS, Caleb has spent years navigating the complexities of healthcare, patient advocacy, and systemic failures-both as an insider and as someone directly impacted by them.
Born in the UK, Caleb's life has been shaped by both resilience and adversity. From a young age, he took on the role of a carer for his Nana, a decade-long responsibility that instilled in him a deep sense of empathy and determination. Before the age of 19, he had experienced profound loss, including the deaths of his brother, uncles, aunties, Nana, father, and grandfathers. These tragedies, combined with his own battles with mental health and addiction, fueled his passion for reform and storytelling.
Caleb's professional and media career has been defined by his commitment to speaking out. He has worked across multiple sectors, from founding a bereavement support initiative at just 18 years old to raising tens of thousands for medical charities such as The British Heart Foundation and The Cystic Fibrosis Trust. His advocacy has seen him contribute to NHS governance, recruitment panels, ward inspections, and policy discussions, bringing real patient and staff experiences to the forefront of the conversation.
Beyond his public service, Caleb has carved a space in social media and passive television, where his presence is both compelling and unapologetic. Through TikTok, reality TV, and digital media, he tackles mental health, healthcare corruption, and the realities of living with ADHD-topics often ignored or misrepresented in mainstream discussions.
Now, Caleb is taking his mission further with the upcoming release of his debut book, Culture of Avoidance: 'My' Doctor, My Lover, and the Toxic Truth About the NHS, set to launch in May 2025. This raw, unfiltered exposé sheds light on the failures of the NHS, the struggles of frontline staff, and his own experience being misdiagnosed, overmedicated, and gaslit by the very system meant to protect him. Combining his personal journey with real stories from patients and healthcare workers, the book aims to lift the lid on what really happens behind closed doors.
With an ever-growing platform and a relentless drive to challenge the status quo, Caleb Carter-West continues to be a bold voice for those who have been silenced. Whether through his writing, media presence, or advocacy, his mission remains clear: speak the truth, fight for change, and never back down.
