Join me as I have a wonderful chat with Professor Anna Campbell MBE about her amazing and inspirational journey, the importance of lifelong learning and being a ‘Pracademic’, and of course we also discuss the importance of physical activity following a cancer diagnosis and how the right instructor can make a big difference in a patient’s life. I am simply in awe of everything that Professor Campbell MBE has achieved and it was a real pleasure to speak with her!
