Speech Day

We were delighted to have Dr Henry Nwume (ON 1988-1995) as our guest speaker at this year’s Speech Day and Prizegiving Ceremony. It was also wonderful to see so many of the Class of 1995 in the audience. On leaving the School, Henry read Medicine at Brasenose College, Oxford, before going on to complete his training at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Medical School in London. He returned to Oxford to study an MSc where he won three Blues in Rugby. Whilst at Oxford he was recruited to play professional rugby for London Wasps, being part of the match day squad that won both the Premiership Final and European Cup in 2004. In 2006 he attended Sandhurst and in 2007 he deployed to Afghanistan for the first time. His subsequent military career has seen him deploy several times across the Middle East and Africa. He continued his athletic endeavours with the Army and in 2010 he competed in the Vancouver Olympic Games as part of Team GB’s 4-man bobsleigh team. In 2014-15 he deployed with the UK Med response programme to treat Ebola patients during the crisis in Sierra Leone. He now continues to work for the British Army as a Medical Officer supporting frontline combat units and is about to deploy again to East Africa.
