Dr Sarah Jarvis MBE, TV doctor & medical broadcaster, receives honorary award & applauds the ISIaIP

Dr Sarah Jarvis is a well-known face and voice on medical matters, regularly contributing to discussions on health on BBC Radio 2, Channel 5, LBC and more.
Sarah's books include A Younger Woman’s Diagnose-it-yourself Guide, Women’s Health for Life, Pregnancy for Dummies, Children’s Health for Dummies and The Welcome Visitor, a book on the ethics of dying co-authored with John Humphrys. She founded the Women’s Taskforce at the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) and was the RCGP Women’s Health spokesperson for over 15 years.
She is Visiting Professor in General Practice at the University of Huddersfield, and is patron of the University’s Institute of Skin Integrity and Infection Prevention (ISIaIP).
“To receive this honorary doctorate feels particularly exciting, but especially because I have worked so closely with Professor Karen Ousey at the ISIaIP,” says Dr Jarvis. “She is such an inspiration, I have heard so much about the University of Huddersfield and its work so I feel very privileged and very honoured.
“I don’t think anyone today can fail to understand how important infection prevention is. We had the most extraordinarily steep learning curve on how Covid was transmitted, and it fundamentally changed the advice I was being given and giving as a doctor. If we didn’t have this institute and others like it we would be much, much slower to understand emerging diseases. There has never been a time when the role of the institute has been more important.
