When asked if I was interested in doing a charity skydive by my brother in law I jumped at the opportunity (no pun intended)!

The Liverpool Head and Neck Centre (LHNC) combines internationally recognised clinical and research strengths to deliver research-led improvements in the quality and safety of patient care. I couldn’t be more pleased to support them in the excellent work that they do.
