Dame Sally Davies, A Musical
Manage episode 424357329 series 3571558
One of our biggest supporters over the last few years has been Dame Sally Davies, the former haematologist, civil servant, Chief Medical Officer of the UK and the current master of Trinity College and UK’s Special Envoy on AMR. She’s also a legend.
During her career, she has seen the face of medicine change, from a time when we had a choice of drugs from the medicine cabinet, to a world where the AMR is clearing those same cabinets bare.
Given her experience in the field, we sat down to chat about what a musical charting her life and relationship with AMR would look like, asking what sparked her to take action, what the end of the story is going to look like, and what makes her burst out into song.
