Dame Margaret Turner-Warwick gave me great support in 1980 when I was professor of immunology at St Mary’s hospital medical school, London, and she was president of the Royal College of Physicians.Dame Margaret Turner-Warwick gave me great support in 1980 when I was professor of immunology at St Mary’s hospital medical school, London, and she was president of the Royal College of Physicians.
When Bill Frankland, director of the hospital’s allergy clinic, retired, the decision was taken to close down this vital facility, despite the fact that allergic reactions can be and often are life-threatening. With Dame Margaret’s generous help, I was able to persuade the Asthma Research Council to fund the appointment of a clinical senior lecturer, based in my department, to run a somewhat downsized allergy clinic. On my retirement in 1990 I received a letter from Dame Margaret fulsomely praising my efforts to save the allergy clinic; it is one of my proudest possessions.When Bill Frankland, director of the hospital’s allergy clinic, retired, the decision was taken to close down this vital facility, despite the fact that allergic reactions can be and often are life-threatening.
