Dr Clair Isbister

Dr Isbister (circa 1933)

Paediatrician Dr Clair Isbister was the anonymous 'Woman Doctor' on ABC Radio in the 1950s and 1960s, offering child care and other advice, always leavened with a strong dose of common-sense. She later became more widely known through television and other public appearances; as a researcher; and as a pioneer of many practices at the Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney.

Clair Isbister died in August 2008.
