Tilly Rose

TILLY ROSE is an author and activist, championing access to higher education and patient advocacy. When Tilly was just five years old, she visited her great aunt’s farm in Ireland and ate a bowl of cereal with a jug of thick, creamy milk; an act which was set to change her path forever. Unbeknown to Tilly this was unpasteurised milk, straight from the cow’s udder, containing M. bovis Tuberculosis (yes, a cow, quite literally, ruined her life). This catapulted Tilly into over 20 years of life as a patient, and in 2021, she began sharing her patient journey on Instagram. She studied English Literature at Oxford University and lives in the UK.
