A lead A&E surgeon, he gave a very amusing talk in his scrubs under the title of ‘How to manipulate a hospital into keeping you alive’. Younger OA Ndubuisi Uchea, documentarian and entrepreneur, talked about his need for flexibility in work and personal life. We wrapped up with radio personality and

We are looking forward to further Ned Talks in 2019: if you would like to step up and give a 10–15 minute humorous, inspiring and/or entertaining talk, please do make yourself known to the Alleyn Club at alleynclub @ dulwich.org.uk
Ned Talks are a play on the popular Ted Talks and a nod to our founder, Edward Alleyn. We were lucky enough to have three engaging OAs, all of whom had fascinating stories
