Dame Averil Mansfield: The UK’s First Female Professor of Surgery | Pride of Britain 2023

Born in Blackpool in 1937, Averil was eight when she read a children’s book about surgery and set her heart on becoming a surgeon. Averil then went on to train as a general surgeon, and became a consultant in Liverpool in 1972, at a time when just 2% of surgeons were women. She joined St Mary’s Hospital in London ten years later, and in 1993 was appointed Professor of Surgery – the first woman in Britain to attain the rank. At the time, there were just 75 female surgeons out of 3,500 consultants.
