Deborah has been an allergy patient at Addenbrooke’s since 2000 and has a relative who is a sleep apnoea patient at Papworth for a similar length of time.
She is trained in mental health first aid and is an A&E volunteer at the NNUH.
Deborah is the author of a two-part series on Science/Religion (parallel to her ancestor Charles Babbage’s similar works), focusing on her generation’s struggles with misinformation and modernisation.
She was previously visually impaired and she set mountaineering records during this time and has since become an active ambassador for the RNIB.
She has been openly supportive of inclusivity, equality and diversity, and has appeared on BBC Radio and various national outlets abroad, (particularly in Rwanda) to discuss this. Deborah is also a member of the United Nations Association.
As an avid classical musician, she believes in access to music for all patients.
