Our next guest on CamTalks is Ellis Downes — a world-class obstetrician, gynaecologist and former Harley Street consultant who now calls Alderney home.

In this episode, Ellis shares his thoughts on why laughter might be more important than medicine, how loneliness impacts physical health, and the surprising lessons he’s learned from Alderney’s tight-knit community.

We talk about generational habits, parenting, parish councils, and the politics of small islands.

He opens up about his journey in medicine — from delivering babies to delivering public service — and what it really means to be useful later in life.

And yes, we also hear the story of the couple who wanted to name their baby after him… until they heard the name Ellis 😂

It’s not just about health. It’s about humanity.
