Dr Sarah Holmes

Sarah Holmes was appointed Chief Medical Officer at Marie Curie in April 2023 and continues to provide clinical care at the charity’s Bradford Hospice. She joined Marie Curie in 2001 as a junior doctor in Edinburgh, an experience that inspired her to retrain in palliative medicine after initially pursuing General Practice. Sarah became Consultant in Palliative Medicine and Medical Director at the Bradford Hospice in 2007, before being appointed UK Medical Director in 2020. She is passionate about improving end of life care for all, particularly marginalised communities, through person-centred, place-based approaches.
