We are extremely proud to have nominated Dr Ruth Nicholson for a plaque commemorating her life and work as a pioneering surgeon in WW1(awarded the French Croix de Guerre) and later as a founder and a Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecologist. Our Lord Mayor (Councillor Habib Rahman) unveiled the plaque Friday, August 27th 2021.
Several club members there were President Christine, Christine Lo., Christine Lu. Doreen and Heather.
The main speakers were Professor Alison Murdoch ( representing the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists) and Baroness Joyce Quin. About 10 relatives of Ruth Nicholson attended including Rosemary who was married to Ruth’s nephew. They were thrilled and very pleased that this honour had been given to their relative and very proud of the plaque.
