"My name is Gareth Patterson. I was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and raised in a small village called Annahilt, just outside Hillsborough, County Down. I studied medicine at Queen’s University Belfast, graduating in 2012, and went on to do my Foundation Years and GP training locally – I think back now and wonder what it would have been like not to have been such a home bird at the time."
