A BRIGHT Leominster teenager has won a place at Cambridge University to study medicine after being inspired by the medics who looked after a sick relative during the coronavirus pandemic. Lily, who will be the first person in her family to go to university, became interested in medicine when volunteering with homeless charity Vennture in Hereford. The 17-year-old said she is now chomping at the bit to get started after the heroics of the NHS staff who looked after her great uncle after he was admitted to hospital with coronavirus. Lots of people think it is strange to want to be in the middle of something like a pandemic but I am just really chomping at the bit to get started, she said.
