Christine and Matt chat to the consultant neurologist who became known across the UK and beyond for the exceptional care she gave rugby league legend Rob Burrow following his motor neurone disease diagnosis.
Dr Agam also played a leading role in creating the Rob Burrow Centre for MND, helping to raise millions of pounds to make the centre a reality.
Dr Agam Jung: Caring for Rob Burrow & Building the MND Centre | Yorkshire Talks
Her remarkable relationship with Rob was captured in two acclaimed BBC documentaries, revealing a partnership built on determination, hope and an unwavering belief that anything was possible. Together, they refused to accept “no” for an answer — they dared to dream, and they made those dreams come true.
In this inspiring conversation, Dr Agam reflects on:
• Her time caring for Rob Burrow.
• The journey to opening the Rob Burrow Centre for MND.
• The latest hopes for MND research and a future cure.
• Her experiences as an Indian woman in a male-dominated profession.
• Why listening to your inner voice and embracing adventure can change your life.
• And she reveals how a piece of history from her past became her special item.
Dr Agam was an absolute joy to meet, and this is a conversation full of inspiration, courage and hope.
