Details Judith Yates died last year, aged 51. Judith was born in Gloucestershire and attended the local primary school in her home village of Wick and the Colston Girls Grammar School in Bristol. She entered University College Dental School in 1969 and between the preclinical and clinical years gained an Honours degree in physiology. After graduating BDS in 1975, she began her career, first as a House Officer at UCH then she joined the community dental service in Highgate where she discovered her love for children's dentistry. A Senior House Officer’s job at Great Ormond Street Hospital followed. She passed the FDS RCS (Eng) and was then appointed lecturer for seven years in the Children’s Department at the Royal Dental Hospital unit until 1985 when the hospital merged with Guy's. By this time she was married with two children of her own and had built up a specialist clinic for children with fractures to immature teeth. This trauma clinic transferred with her to Guy’s and she published papers both on tooth fracture and on use of Valium for children. After a few years as senior lecturer at Guy’s and while working on her PhD she was struck down with rheumatoid arthritis. She was totally incapacitated for months, but despite this, continued to bring up the children and run her home. She returned to work part-time briefly, then suffered ME and latterly cancer. She had to give up dentistry in 1992 in order to cope with her illness, then embarked on a new career as a counsellor and lay pastor in a local United Reformed Church. She completed her training and was able to serve in the High Wycombe area URC until she entered the hospice in November 2002. Her loving personality is greatly missed in the church community. Her gifts with children, her musical ability, her quiet humour and immense administrative skills were all put at their disposal. She is greatly missed by her husband Alan, daughter Ruth (20), son Matthew (16) and her friends both from dentistry and the wider community.

Details Jane Goodman was a consultant in paediatric dentistry, who made a significant contribution to the speciality. A Guy’s Hospital graduate, Jane was appointed a registrar at the Eastman Dental Hospital in 1974. Becoming a consultant, she retired from the Eastman in 2009. At the Eastman, Jane contributed to the multidisciplinary understanding of the management of children affected by hypodontia. She was also the Training Programme Director at the Eastman and trained many in the current speciality. She had exacting standards for herself and others; the many tributes since her death have highlighted the esteem with which she was held as a trainer. Jane held many national roles. She was Chairman of the British Society in Paediatric Dentistry South East Branch (1987) and President of the National Society (1995-1996). She represented the BSPD on the Specialist Advisory Board and became a life member in 2009.

Jane also undertook voluntary work for disadvantaged children in Israel, travelling every year to treat children in various clinics there. Her Jewish faith a constant and important part of her life. Retirement was to be an opportunity to spend more time with her wide circle of friends, ex-colleagues and lifelong friends from her childhood in Sheffield; many sharing her interests, particularly silversmithing and jewellery-making. However, months after retiring, she developed a blood cancer, treated with a stem cell transplant. She tackled her illness with great courage and got on with living. She became a counsellor for the Anthony Nolan Trust, helping others with similar cancers. Jane was a welcoming hostess, a kind, loyal friend and a genuine listener. She was fiercely independent and hugely resilient. She was briefly, and happily, married to Jack, who died in 1998. Jane passed away peacefully at home on 1 June 2019. All who knew her, from whatever walk of life, felt privileged. She will be greatly missed.

Details Professor Gerald Bernard Winter died on 22nd December 2002, aged 74. He was the father of paediatric dentistry in Britain. From the time of his appointment as Professor and Honorary Consultant in Children’s Dentistry at the Institute of Dental Surgery in London University in October 1966, he singlemindedly spearheaded a personal campaign to improve the dental health of children and the dental services available to them in this country. His approach was primarily an educational one. In the clinic he was a hard taskmaster, never accepting anything less than the best, but was revered by his postgraduate students who came from all over the world to attend the MSc course in children’s dentistry at “The Eastman”, the Dental Hospital associated with the Institute of Dental Surgery in Gray’s Inn Road. He was instrumental in developing the careers of many junior staff, who subsequently obtained senior academic or hospital appointments in this country and abroad. Gerry Winter was born in the East End of London on 24th November 1928, the only son of Maurice and Edith Winter, descendents of late 19th Century Askenazi Jewish immigrants from Russia, Poland and Austria. He graduated BDS from the dental school at the London Hospital in 1955. He completed a medical degree at the London in 1958, and gained the Diploma in Child Health in 1960 and the Fellowship in Dental Surgery (England) in 1962. He held a lectureship in children’s dentistry at the Royal Dental Hospital from 1959 to 1962 before being appointed to a consultant post at the Eastman Dental Hospital. He was greatly influenced by the then dean of the Institute, the late Sir Robert Bradlaw, who recognised the drive, honesty, plain speaking, and the desire to serve and care for others, especially the under-privileged, that were hallmarks of Gerry Winter’s character. He was appointed sub-dean at the Institute of Dental Surgery in October 1972, a post he held for eleven years before serving two five-year terms as dean and director of studies from 1984 to 1994. He represented the British Paedodontic Society (now the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry) on the Specialist Advisory Committee in Orthodontics, The Royal College of Surgeons of England from 1973 to 1985 and was instrumental in developing paediatric dentistry as an independent specialty, recognised by the Department of Health. He served as honorary secretary of the British Paedodontic Society from 1961 to 1964, and of the International Association of Dentistry for Children from 1971 to 1979, inaugural chairman of the British Society of Dentistry for the Handicapped (1976-1977) and of the Consultants in Paediatric Dentistry (1989-1994). He is the only person to become president of the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry twice, first in 1970-1971 and then in his retirement year 1993-1994. He was presented with the President's Medal by HRH The Princess Royal at the 17th Congress of the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry at its Congress in London in 1999. In his retirement he became Director of the Oral and Dental Research Trust supporting young research workers in the field. Gerry Winter is survived by his wife Eva, whom he married in 1960, and by his son and daughter.
