Summary:Dr John Holden was known to many within the RCGP for his work on the quality agenda, GP training, clinical audit, Fellowship by Assessment, Membership by Assessment, past Council membership, Provost of Mersey Faculty, and as a recipient of the President's Medal. John tragically passed away in a fall from a ridge between Steeple and Little Scoat Fell above Ennerdale in the closing stages of the Joss Naylor (fell running) Challenge on Jul 15, 2018. He was a keen climber, fell runner, and collector of big-city marathons. As those who knew him well, he was never happier than when he was 'on the fells. John worked tirelessly to promote the values of the College and especially equity of access for vulnerable older people, being one of the local leaders who established the first virtual ward--Eldercare--in St Helens in 2007, which cared for up to 700 housebound or care home older people at one time.
