Or Nanny Hewitt, if you intend keeping a good balance - which would not be ungentlemanly at all... <leer>

Also from the surgical field - Prof. Averil Mansfield, first woman professer of surgery in the UK (Vascular, St. Mary's Hospital, Imperial), founding chair of Women In Surgical Training (WIST).

From the political side of things, Barbara Castle maybe?

Tempted to say Virginia Bottomley for her role in attempting to neuter/dismantle the whole thing, but perhaps that would be ungentlemanly... ;-)

Subject: Significant women in the history of the NHS

Hello,

I'm doing a last minute literature search on: "significant women in the history of the NHS", which is turning out to be harder than you'd think. I've picked out some names to look up from the HSJ's "NHS at 60" list, but I can't help but think there's got to be more. Any suggestions from the floor?

Thanks,

Tom
