An exclusive interview with Professor Jane Somerville professor of cardiology.
During her career that spanned over 40 years, Jane worked at both the National Heart Hospital and the Royal Brompton, helping to establish the grown up congenital heart disease service (GUCH) at both hospitals.
Jane became the second woman to enter the Paediatric Cardiology Hall of Fame, founded the GUCH Patients Association (later renamed the Somerville Heart Foundation) and the inaugural World Congress of Paediatric Cardiology.
Now in retirement, she is dedicating her time campaigning with whistleblowing practising doctors, in the uk who have found themselves centre stage of a widespread culture of institutionalised coverup, that stretches from their places of work, up to the highest levels of power.
