Dr Sharon Ann Holgate
I am delighted to be sharing my story in the latest edition of Pioneer magazine by the Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) Children’s Charity. Without GOSH’s ground-breaking neurosurgery I wouldn’t be alive today, and amazingly the hospital also gave me my first taste of radio broadcasting and science writing as a 12-year-old in-patient having surgery to keep me walking.
