Episode two: James Wallis

Hi, I'm Max and I host this. 

I’m a paediatrician by trade. Mainly interested in development and especially in the autism and ADHD spectra.

I do some work with RCPCH on health improvement, especially around mental health, obesity, immunisation and screen time.

I’m a gamer, mainly board and card games, playing with my kids, other people’s kids, and friends.

I love to talk about play, which is why I've started this.
