Activities
In August 2016 Stuart Ramsay reported an arms trading investigation for the Sky News Channel.

During the Battle of Mosul, Ramsay was directly next to an ISIL VBIED which exploded while he and his cameraman were recording footage from an Iraqi drone dropping grenades onto ISIL positions. They were unharmed, however upwards of 20-30 Iraqi soldiers may have been killed, as well as multiple vehicles including a Humvee and a main battle tank being destroyed.

In March 2020, he was the first TV journalist to report from inside a hospital hard hit by Italy's coronavirus pandemic, conducting his video tour of a badly overcrowded hospital while wearing a full-body hazmat suit. The news report won the British Journalism Awards 2020 for best "Foreign Journalism"; the judges said Ramsay’s coverage of the coronavirus outbreak in Italy was “a very brave piece of reporting which will have changed a lot of peoples’ thinking” and “the story that brought the impact of coronavirus close to home”. They said his “storytelling was fantastic” and his reports “whacked the audience between the eyes and woke Britain up to how serious this pandemic was”.

In August 2021 he reported from the Afghan capital during the Fall of Kabul.

On 28 February 2022 he was shot and wounded while reporting near Kyiv during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

In July 2023, he filed a report from inside the conflict zones of eastern Myanmar.
