DOCTOR KIRSTY WHO GREW UP IN BRIGG CONTRIBUTES TO LEADING MEDICAL JOURNAL

A former Brigg resident - now a doctor - has had a six-page feature article about herself published in a leading medical journal.
As a girl, Kirsty Nicholson lived at the Queen's Arms pub, on Wrawby Street, when it was run by her parents Bob and Sue - among the best-known 'mine hosts' in the area for many years. She was also educated locally.
Now Dr Kirsty Edmondson-Jones, Kirsty is director of estates and facilities at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals,
Proud Bob recently stopped us in the town centre and suggested Brigg Blog and share details of Kirsty' latest achievement. - Her article, Forever Learning, appeared in National Health Executive.
Kirsty told Brigg Blog: "The article itself is rather more autobiographical than their usual articles, and this was as a result of them asking me for details that they would then edit into an article, whereas they then decided to print the entire article instead!"
Listing Kirsty's impressive qualifications in its introduction to the feature, the journal says: Dr Edmondson-Jones epitomises this continued journey of discovery and took the time to reflect for National Health Executive."
Looking back on her early life, Kirsty recalls: "I worked for my parents for a couple of years before dashing any early retirement hopes they might have had by moving to London after meeting my husband."
She then goes on to trace her interesting career.

Concluding her story, Kirsty says: "It’s been quite a developmental journey I’ve been on over these last 30 years."
Early last year we reported her receipt of an honorary fellowship from Sheffield Hallam University.
