Episode Details

If you visited Trafalgar Square in central London today you’d see Admiral Nelson gazing down from his column. What you won’t see is a statue to celebrate the work of Edward Jenner – although once there was one.

Gareth Williams, a professor of medicine at the University of Bristol, is backing a campaign to have Jenner’s statue reinstated. Mabel Chew talks to him about the life and times of the father of vaccination.
