Sophie Campbell’s sudden illness in 2021 turned out to be the inspiration for her own career.
She spent some months in hospital after going into septic shock, and saw, at first hand, exactly what doctors do, and the care that they give the patients.
It was this that made her decide to become a doctor.
Her hard work while at St. John’s Sixth Form College has resulted in a Grade A* in Biology, Grade A in Chemistry, and Grade B in Spanish, which enables her to take up her offer from Newcastle University to study Medicine & Surgery.
Sophie thanks her subject teachers at St John’s – part of Bishop Hogarth Catholic Education Trust – for having gone above and beyond to further her academic progress.
