## Early life and training
Arfwedson was born in Westminster, London, to a Swedish father and an English mother[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2268310/) • [2](https://www.holby.tv/camilla-arfwedson/). She studied Classics at the [University of Edinburgh](https://www.edgepedia.org/university-of-edinburgh)[2](https://www.holby.tv/camilla-arfwedson/), where she acted in student productions including *Bedroom Farce*, *Private Lives*, *Skylight*, and *Sore Throats*[3](https://www.unitedagents.co.uk/camilla-arfwedson/).
She did not attend drama school. In a 2013 interview she explained that after university she wanted to find an agent on her own, so she staged a play with other actors also seeking representation; the show sold out at a small pub theater in Barons Court and the participants were all signed, and she has been with her agent at United Agents since[4](https://www.holby.tv/camilla-arfwedson-interview/). Her stage credits include the role of Diane in *Square One* at the Etcetera Theatre, directed by [Ben Cross](https://www.edgepedia.org/ben-cross), and Evelyn in *The Shape of Things* at the Barons Court Theatre[3](https://www.unitedagents.co.uk/camilla-arfwedson/).
## Holby City
In 2013 Arfwedson joined the BBC medical drama *Holby City* as Dr Zosia March, a plain-speaking junior doctor whose forthright manner was expected to cause waves on the wards; the character was her first regular television role[5](https://www.holby.tv/camilla-arfwedson-joins-holby/) • [4](https://www.holby.tv/camilla-arfwedson-interview/). She auditioned three times for the part, ending with an on-set audition in scrubs before what she estimated were about 12 people watching[4](https://www.holby.tv/camilla-arfwedson-interview/).
To prepare for the role she shadowed a consultant for a day, including watching open heart surgery in theater[4](https://www.holby.tv/camilla-arfwedson-interview/). She described the character as cool, collected, and precociously bright, with no filter and a protective robotic front[4](https://www.holby.tv/camilla-arfwedson-interview/). Over the run, Zosia's storylines included an affair with Jesse Law, a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, a friendship with Arthur Digby, and an on-off relationship with Oliver Valentine; the couple married on screen, and Zosia left in 2017, returning in 2019 to reveal a pregnancy and giving birth to a son named Arthur[6](https://www.entertainmentdaily.com/tv/holby-city-who-is-zosia-march-and-will-she-be-returning/). She returned for guest appearances in 2019 and again in the final 2021 episode, for a credited total of 182 episodes across 2013–2021[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2268310/). Her Holby work extended to a single appearance as the same character in the parent series *Casualty* in 2019[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2268310/).
