We report the deaths of the following members and offer sympathy to their families:
Douglas Black (q St Andrews 1936; d 13 September 2002) was Professor of Medicine in Manchester from 1959-77 and later President of the Royal College of Physicians. He is best remembered for the 1980 'Black report' on Inequalities in Health, which defined the moment where it was no longer possible to doubt that poverty and health were inextricably linked.
John (Jack) Darling OBE (q Belfast 1934; d 12 July 2002) was General Surgeon to the Ground-nut Scheme, Tanganyika, then in government service in Tanganyika and at Mulago Hospital, Kampala, Uganda. He later served as Consultant Surgeon and Superintendent to the County Hospital, Huntingdon, 1964 - 1976.
Robert Fleming (q The London 1932; d May 2002) was a General Practitioner before retiring in Bath.
Stuart Horner (q Birmingham 1956; d 1 June 2002) was Professor of Public Health in Preston. His life as a Christian in public health and his open witness at the BMA, where he served as chair of the Central Ethics Committee, were an example of a rare kind.
Douglas Jackson (q Guy's 1940; d 26 September 2002) was a Consultant Surgeon in the Accident Hospital, Birmingham and former CMF chairman. He founded the Birmingham burns unit, at that time the largest in the world, and devoted his life to the management of burns, introducing the 'pin-prick test' for assessing burn depth. He was a prominent and popular speaker and writer in CMF's early years.
Emrys Thomas (q Edinburgh 1929; d 19 March 2002) was a medical missionary with the Edinburgh Medical Missionary Society. After qualifying he worked in Nazareth and Damascus, keeping the hospital open in 1945 when the city was shelled. In 1959 he went to Botswana where he worked in the mission hospital at Molepolole until he retired to Edinburgh in 1970.
Ann England (q Cardiff 1959; d 2002) worked as a Clinical Assistant in Obstetrics and Gynaecolgy before her retirement in Eastbourne.
