One of the high points of my career ….. so honoured to be invited by the inspirational Rosamund Adoo-KD CBE FBSA to speak about the impact of air pollution on our children - here and globally RCPCH

Honoured to be in room for this emotional event, supporting RCPCH President to speak about the serious impact air pollution has on children's health. Rosamund is an inspiration. No other child should be allowed to suffer in the way Ella did 💔 Rosamund Adoo-KD CBE FBSA
