Quite a remarkable lady, who has never been forgotten by my family for her care when I was very young. Remembered with fondness by a now very grown-up ex-patient.

In loving memory of Dr. Yvonne Ransley who sadly passed away on 23rd November 2019.
Yvonne was born in Canterbury in 1933 to Frank and Dorothy Ransley.
She is survived by her older sister, Joyce.
Yvonne passed the 11+ exam and went to the local Grammar School, before qualifying from the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine in 1960.
She worked in various hospitals around London including Queen Elizabeth (Hackney), The Royal Free, Queen Charlotte’s Maternity and Hammersmith Hospital before being appointed as paediatric consultant to both Epsom and Queen Mary’s, Carshalton hospitals in 1973.
She was appointed honorary senior lecturer to St George’s hospital in 1986.
Yvonne was a true general paediatrician with a vast knowledge. She worked on the wards, in outpatients and developed a service for children with cerebral palsy including visiting some of them at their local school in Eastwick.
Her clinical and technical skills were greatly appreciated at MERU (medical engineering research unit) where specialised equipment for handicapped children was developed, becoming their director from 1994 to 2003.
She strove to ensure the service to the local children was the best it could be, having had a high sense of duty and care for her patients.
Her passion was for madrigal singing and latterly she joined the Epsom Choral Society.
Yvonne enjoyed travelling with medical groups that explored medicine in other countries and loved her garden.
Dr Ransley touched the hearts of many over the years and will not be forgotten.
