Andrew Charles O’Brien was an East Grinstead surgeon who specialised in treating children with spinal problems. After working for some time at the Queen Victoria Hospital, he had fairly recently started a job at the paediatric department at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children, returning to his family in West Sussex at weekends. In Belfast he had initiated pioneering work in correcting spinal deformities and arthritis in children.
After developing cancer of the spine, he died in ten weeks in St Catherine’s Hospice, Crawley on 28 September 2018, aged 54. He was survived by his wife Krystyna, also 54, and daughters Anna and Helena.
