PARVINDER (Actor to Doctor)

WHEN lockdown occurred Parvinder Shergill, 32, was working on various theatre projects including her own play, Her, but returned to her role as a qualified medic. She said: “The impact of being a doctor on the frontline has been huge. I am a doctor of mental health and sometimes I cover admissions in A&E. Mostly I work on the children and adolescents’ clinic. I often use my theatre and film skill set. I have led a drama and writing group with some patients, which has been an excellent tool for them to express themselves away from formal therapy sessions.”
