Roger Edward Cudmore was a consultant paediatric surgeon at Alder Hey Hospital, Liverpool. He studied medicine in Sheffield and then served for two years in a Methodist hospital in Nigeria. He was appointed consultant surgeon to the children’s hospitals in Liverpool in 1972, where he was truly a general neonatal and paediatric surgeon.
He was an active member of paediatric surgical associations, and a past President of the St Helen’s Medical Society and the Liverpool Medical Institution. He was an elected member of the GMC for 10 years.
Roger was very active in the Christian Medical Fellowship, a reader in his local church and, after retirement, an assistant chaplain at Whiston Hospital. He became an expert in rare breeds of chicken, got a BA with the Open University and still found time to be with his family. Towards the end of his life he developed motor neurone disease. He died on 3 November 2004, leaving his widow Christine and three children.
