A NORTH Yorkshire woman has become the third generation of her family to qualify as a doctor at Newcastle University.
Louise Murray, 23, follows in the footsteps of her mother Dr Jennifer Lund, who graduated in 1985, and her late grandfather, Dr John Fraser Lund, who qualified in 1953.
Louisa, from Harrogate, said: “I felt proud at the graduation ceremony. I was very much thinking of my grandpa, who passed away a few years ago. This would have been a very proud moment for him.”
Louisa joined approximately 4,800 students at the university’s summer congregation ceremonies, of whom 310 graduated with a degree in medicine.
Mother-of-two Dr Jennifer Lund said: “I feel very proud of my daughter. It’s a fantastic thing - it’s a very hard course and very hard work.
“It makes it extra special that Louisa is the third generation of our family to train at Newcastle Medical School."
