From the you're never far from home department:

And then there was the one about the doctor from Matfen, England who wanted to see the world, so she went to work for P&O Cruises as a ship's doctor. She did that for two years, but then an opportunity came to work for sister company, Cunard Line, and not only that but aboard the most well-known ship in the world, QE2, during its last year sailing for the line. She jumped at the chance thinking of the fabled world voyages aboard the classic liner. She joined QE2 last Saturday for her first cruise, and where will that take her? Around the British Isles, and her first port call takes her up the River Tyne, just a few miles from home.

You can read about Dr. Beth Gregory-Smith in an article in the Hexham Courant.
