A University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) undergraduate, who previously studied in Chorley, has been named Student Doctor of the Year by a prestigious body.
This is why sport, gardening and friendship could be just what the doctor ordered for residents in South Ribble
The knock-on effect of the illness on her schooling meant she only attended around 20% of her classes in Years 7 and 8 at Bishop Rawstorne Church of England Academy in Croston. Her mother had to take time off work to collect her school work and teach her at home. Holly, from Southport, said: “I was so poorly and to go from competing in athletic competitions for my county to not being able to wash my own hair was really debilitating. I slowly built up my strength and managed to get A*s and As in my GCSEs.”Then while Horry was about to undertake her high school exams, her mum was diagnosed with double breast cancer.
Holly added: “With being under Alder Hey’s care until I was 18 and going to support my mum with her breast cancer appointments, I spent a lot of time around medical professionals, seeing the work they did certainly inspired me to want to become a doctor.
