Former WGHS student, Dr Emma O'Dowd, has appeared on BBC Breakfast this morning alongside Fiona Castle (wife of Roy Castle), to talk about Roy’s legacy and the fantastic work done by The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation - the charity which was created from the proceeds of Roy’s Tour of Hope which took place in the final months of his life.
We thank Emma’s family for bringing this to our attention. They are incredibly proud of her achievements. Emma has gone on to become a consultant respiratory physician at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. She was awarded a PhD entitled Factors influencing the diagnosis and subsequent prognosis in patients with lung cancer in April 2017, which was funded by the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation. Emma’s expertise are in lung cancer screening and early diagnosis of lung cancer.
Congratulations Emma, you have gone on to such incredible things and we are very proud to be a part of your story.
The segment can be seen on the BBC iPlayer and was shown around 8:15am this morning.
