Paula Salmons established an eating disorder service in Birmingham and taught GPs and medical students about the disease[1]. After retiring, she received letters from former patients, in which one patient wrote to her family that "Aunt Paula" helped him recover from an illness he had no idea about[1]. During the 1960s and 1970s, Paula Salmons, despite societal expectations, pursued professional work instead of remaining a homemaker[1]. Rosamond Gruer was banned from men's dinners after qualifying in 1950, but later trained in public health and conducted a series of studies evaluating health services[1]. Gruer took an active role in evaluating and improving health services after her husband, a general practitioner, was unable to continue in practice[1]. The article commemorates the doctors who died in 2025 and presents the personal and professional contributions of these women without judgment or speculation[1].
