From Netball Court to NHS Scrubs | Edinburgh News
Description
Rachel Conway, Scotland’s netball star and Commonwealth Games medalist, is swapping the court for the clinic—starting her NHS doctor training this Monday after a year-long athletic hiatus. Graduating med school in 2025, she prioritized peak performance for the Games, delaying her clinical start—but that didn’t stop her from earning 37 senior caps, competing in World Cup and Commonwealth Games events. Inspired by her physician mother, Conway thrives on human connection and tangible impact, balancing medicine with elite sport. Though nervous about her new role, she’s determined to keep playing netball, seeing parallels between sports and medicine. Her journey? A powerful message: passion, dedication, and grit can thrive across disciplines—and inspire the next generation to chase both.
