Bristol doctor records album of songs inspired by patients

Ms Dejsupa works in a hospital near London

A junior doctor has recorded an album of songs inspired by patients she treated in hospital.

Holly Dejsupa, 24, wrote her six-track album, Wednesday's On-Call, around her hospital shifts and studies at the University of Bristol's Medical School.

Each track focuses on a patient she treated, with details anonymised to protect their privacy.

Miss Dejsupa began making music at the age of three and she plays piano and guitar.

She said: "In medicine, I can touch the patient's abdomen, listen to their chest - but with music, I can reach people I can't see.

"I just hope each patient story inspires people as much as it did for me when writing them."

Ms Dejsupa graduated from the University of Bristol

Miss Dejsupa recently graduated from Bristol Medical School and is working in a hospital near London.

She aims to become a plastic surgeon and has a special interest in limb reconstruction.

Sarah Purdy, pro-vice chancellor for student experience at the University of Bristol and a part-time GP, said: "Practising medicine is an art as well as a science and being able to communicate with people is a core skill for medical students and doctors.

"Holly's amazing talents in music and medicine take this to a next level."
