Georgina Cartwright

I am a second-year medical student at the University of Warwick with strong clinical experience through hospital and GP placements, where I have developed skills in history-taking, clinical examinations, and assisting in surgeries.

As an officer cadet in the University Air Squadron, I learned what it means to stay calm under pressure, adapt quickly, and rely on my team during challenging situations. The Royal Navy offers the kind of demanding, varied environments where I know I can push myself and continue to grow as both a doctor and a person, whilst providing the highest quality of care.
