Representatives from the Doctors\u2019 Association UK (DAUK) joined hundreds of people in celebrating the life of our founding member and past chair Dr Jenny Vaughan OBE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our chair Ms Helen Fernandes, vice chair Dr Ellen Welch, past co-chair Dr Matt Kneale, Learn Not Blame lead Dr Shonnelly Novintin, and committee member Dr David Nicholl attended the service of thanksgiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Nicholl, who met Jenny when they were students, was among the people who spoke at the service at St Paul\u2019s Church in Hammersmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paying an emotional tribute to his friend and colleague, he said: \u201cShe was an absolute legend within the DAUK and lobbied for so many colleagues and helped so many colleagues, I don\u2019t know how she did it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we think of the general election and parties talking about reform of whistleblowing legislation, something she has campaigned about for years, that\u2019s part of Jenny\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warm, funny and emotional anecdotes came from Jenny\u2019s family and friends. There was a tribute from David Sellu, who she supported in quashing his conviction for gross negligence manslaughter, while neurology colleagues described her devotion to her patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJenny was a force of nature who was absolutely pivotal in founding DAUK, and she\u2019s helped and supported so many people and touched so many lives in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHer legacy lives on in DAUK.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
