Runner of the Week: Professor George Shorten

Professor George Shorten will be running the Cork City Marathon for a cause close to his heart.

This year the CUH Charity is raising money for the hospital’s intensive care unit, the department he works in, with a ‘Run for your life’ initiative, encouraging fundraisers to take part in the marathon.

George is Professor of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine in the department, and he splits his time between the ICU and his other duties in UCC’s School of Medicine.
