Headstrong and fearless, Sam is passionate about saving lives and not afraid to take risks. Before coming to Holby, Sam was an army medic who served in Afghanistan - where she thrived on the adrenaline rush of combat medicine. Sam is a brilliant mate, great to share a pint and banter with, but she’s definitely not one to overshare. Sam was a Doctor in the ED, but returned as a paramedic - working alongside Iain Dean.

In the premiere episode of Season 33, she was wounded by shrapnel that was not revealed until the end of the episode, where Iain Dean tried frantically to resucitate her, but to no effect.
