OBITUARY Dr Marion Frank The Great Dame of Radiography Marion Frank with her Dien Van Dijk Award obituary D r Marion Frank was the Superintendent Radiographer of The Middlesex Hospital, London and Principal of The Middlesex School of Radiography for many years. Under the guidance of Marion Frank the Middlesex School not only became one of the most prestigious in the United Kingdom but its influence was felt throughout the world of radiography. During her career at The Middlesex Marion fostered many overseas students and her apartment was open for all who did not have somewhere to stay. For many years after her retirement she continued to participate in the international aspects of radiography and willingly to offer advice and help to all who asked. Marion and her twin sister arrived in the United Kingdom in the 1930’s both training as radiographers in Glasgow. Marion, as everyone knows, continued in the profession of radiography whilst her sister married and brought up a family. She was President of the Society of Radiographers, United Kingdom, in the 1960’s and received an OBE the Queen Elizabeth for services to radiography in the UK and throughout the world. Marion was known personally to many radiographers around the world for her international activities and will be best remembered for her work with the International Society of Radiographers and Radiological Technologists (ISRRT). She was devoted to its ideals and objectives and worked tirelessly to promote and foster the ISRRT in countries throughout the world. In recognition of this work Marion was awarded the ISRRT Dien Van Dijk Awardt the 16th ISRRT World Congress, Gold Coast, Australia, September 2010. Marion was extremely proud of this award and no one deserved it more than her. She will be missed not only by her many colleagues and friends in the ISRRT but by all those who were involved with her during her lifetime. I know that she leaves an empty gap both with individuals and with many International Radiography Societies. The world of Radiography will always remember her ceaseless efforts and commitment towards improving world health and education without thought of any reward for herself. Marion was firstly a radiographer and teacher but also a friend, a maternal figure and has been described as “the Great Dame of Radiography”. It is certainly the passing of an era for In many ways she was the heart and soul of the ISRRT, working hard to realise the dream of it’s founders. One of her final wishes was to ensure that the valuable information she held relating to the ISRRT was in good hands. This wish was accomplished this year when her vast archive of documents was accepted by The John Rylands University Library, The University of Manchester, for safe keeping and research purposes. Marion was a remarkable person who was honoured, loved and respected by all who knew her for her humility and her lifelong wish to try in some small way to help those she considered to be less fortunate than herself. She was a great person who, without a second thought, sacrificed all for her beloved profession of radiography and as such, touched so many of us with her generosity and kindness. These few words do an injustice in trying to record how much we will all miss Marion. She will however remain very alive in our memories and admiration. Tributes to Marion have been received from many persons throughout the world and some are recorded on the ISRRT website and can be seen at www.isrrt.org 18
