Dr Michael Mosley was a true one off character and contributed more to the education and improvement of the nation's health than anyone in living memory.

Before his tragic death, Michael's contribution to health education is profound. His radically innovative yet simple dietary plans allowed countless individuals to take control of their health, some for the first time. His passion for making complex health subjects accessible to all was second to none. His work, particularly on the 5:2 diet and other intermittent fasting regimes, has been praised by health practitioners worldwide, leading to life-changing improvements for many thousands of people.

Michael's remarkable contributions to healthcare and public education went far beyond the norm. His dedication which included carrying out medical experiments on himself, was equalled only by his personal warmth, his ability to inspire, and his ceaseless ambition to make the UK a healthier place.

Please join me in calling for Michael Mosley to be recognised for his significant contributions with a posthumous knighthood for his services to improving the nation's health. Your signature would not just honor a deserving individual, but would also send a powerful message about the value we place on those who dedicate their lives to enhancing ours.
