Tom Belger
“Tom Belger is an award-winning freelance journalist originally from London. He worked as a feature writer and then general news reporter at the Liverpool Echo before taking up the health, education and social affairs brief.
As a health reporter he has covered many human interest stories about the shocking toll of illnesses, medical blunders, policy decisions and failures in care on local people’s lives. He has written widely on the reality of the NHS crisis for patients and frontline staff, including interviewing Jeremy Hunt and a long form piece on a day in the life of a paramedic.
He has covered in depth the high-profile case of brain-damaged baby Alfie Evans, with a hospital seeking high court approval to end life support. He also uncovered a scandal involving nurses bullied and “set up to fail” in an A&E department, and the revelation a new Carillion hospital could have partly collapsed and patients died from mistakes in its construction.
He won Young Journalist of the Year at the O2 North West Media Awards in 2017. He is now freelance and available for commissions, and has a particular interest in social affairs, health, politics and Latin America.”
