In Bed With Neil Moodie

My guest in this episode is the lovely and amazing Dr. Michael Brady. Michael is a very important Doctor within the UK's NHS and husband to celebrity hairstylist Mathew Soobroy. In April 2019 Michael was appointed as the first ever National Advisor for LGBTQ+ Health with the aim being to reduce health inequalities for LGBTQ+ communities and improve their experience of health and social care. After studying Medicine in Nottingham and moving around the UK with the NHS, he ended up at the Kings College Hospital in Brixton, South London, as a HIV and sexual health consultant. Michael eventually became clinical lead for Sexual Health services at Kings College Hospital and also a trustee of the Terrence Higgins Trust (the largest HIV and sexual health charity in Europe) where in 2007 he was appointed as their first Medical Director. I met Michael in my home in London to chat about his life, HIV and why he took on his newly created role for the UK.
