Wardle Academy Alumni – Dr Elizabeth Hildrew
Dr Elizabeth Hildrew – Foundation Year 1 Doctor at Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital.
We are shining a spotlight on Elizabeth Hildrew, a former Wardle Academy student and current first year doctor.
Life at Wardle Academy
Whilst at Wardle, Elizabeth was a talented musician and particularly enjoyed performing with the Wardle Wind Band. She achieved her ABRSM Grade 8 Flute qualification at just age 14. Elizabeth accredits this wonderful achievement in part to the support and belief of Mrs Conway who helped her reach this goal.
Mrs Conway was a great support who always believed in me. I don’t think I would have achieved my qualification without her encouragement.
Life after Wardle Academy
After leaving Wardle Academy, Elizabeth went on to study A-Levels in Maths, Chemistry and Biology at Rochdale Sixth Form College. She achieved excellent grades with an A in Maths, A in Chemistry and B in Biology. After college, Elizabeth studied Medicine at Newcastle University and graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery.
She is currently working as a doctor at Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, undertaking her first year of the Foundation Training Programme. Next year, Elizabeth will complete her final year of the two-year rotation.
Thank you so much Elizabeth for sharing your story with us. We are so proud of your achievements as part of our wonderful Wardle Academy Alumni and wish you every success as you continue your career as a doctor.
