News of Sheilas death on 30 December last year will have come as a shock to many. Although known to be in poor health during the past 12 months, from her retirement in 1983 from the Royal Free Hospital she had continued as a leading light in her beloved specialty, hepatology, to which she contributed so much. Her clarity of presentation made her much in demand as a speaker at postgraduate meetings and similarly, as a chairman, she had a legendary reputation. Many a startled hepatologist has been woken at meetings from his slumbers by Sheilas clarion call for a comment.
