Dr Sarah Holmes

Sarah joined Marie Curie in 2001 working at the Edinburgh Hospice as a junior doctor, having initially pursued a career in General Practice. The experience working in Edinburgh inspired her to retrain in palliative medicine, and she became Consultant in Palliative Medicine and Medical Director of Marie Curie Hospice Bradford in 2007. In July 2020, Sarah became UK Medical Director for Marie Curie, and went on to join the Executive Team as Chief Medical Officer in April 2023.

Sarah is passionate about ensuring better end of life care for all, especially for marginalised groups and communities, and in delivering truly person centred, holistic care as part of a place based approach.
