ACT’s Amazing People

We’ve launched our first ever radio show with Cambridge Radio to share all the amazing stories behind our work, which in the last 30 years has seen more than £150 million invested in improving patient care at Addenbrooke’s.

Gavin Richards, Co-presenter of the show, recently won a silver for Male Presenter of the Year in the Community Radio Awards for his Saturday morning show on Cambridge Radio from 10am – 12 noon. 

Listen to all the episodes below:

We asked Addenbrooke’s robotic surgeons Siong-Seng Liau and Michael Powar for their views on the future of robotic surgery.
