A doctor isn’t just someone who makes people better. A porter isn’t just someone who moves people around a hospital. As staff across Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust have been hailed heroes for their work during Covid, Caroline Verdon goes deeper to find out who they actually are, to hear their stories, what makes them tick, what their passions are and why they do the jobs they do. This series involves professional rugby players, champion fencers, leper colonies and even submarines. Some will make you cry, some will make you think, all will give you an insight into the person behind the mask.Copyright 2023 Leeds Teaching Hospitals Careers Economics Hygiene & Healthy Living Personal Success Physical Illness & Disease Social Sciences

    In this episode, Caroline Verdon meets Dr Agam Jung, Consultant Neurologist at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. She's the director of the Leeds Regional Motor Neurone Disease Care Centre but is perhaps best known as Rob Burrow's consultant and one of the people behind the appeal for the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease.

    What a lot of people don't realise is that she spent 3 months living in a Leper Colony and has very much devoted her life to helping others to live in the now.
