Podcast with GOSH CEO

We know you’ll enjoy listening to this interview by YPAG members Suki and Lauren who made the whole thing happen with their great questions.

Deirdre Leyden who runs YPAG unlocked the whole thing using her amazing enabling skills, and the interview was generously transformed into a podcast and included in the series ‘we are ICH’ by podcasting guru and doctoral student Max Verfeuden, from the Child Health Informatics Group and Vinay Saini, a UCL Clean Air community member from St George's Medical School.

He explains how the podcast came out of a meeting in January 2020 between Helen Lucy, Ana and the Young People’s advisory group to get their ideas on the Great Ormond Street Clean Air Hospital Framework
