Cardiothoracic surgeon Mr David Lawrence initially applied to study engineering at university. His love of finding solutions to practical problems - his family know him to be a keen DIY enthusiast - led to his choice. But then he changed his mind. He wondered, could he mend humans instead? 
 
“I decided I’d rather repair people,” he smiles. And four years into his medical studies, he decided operating on the heart and lungs seemed the most transformative repair of all. “You can make a patient’s life so much better,” he explains.
 
Twenty years after he became a consultant, it is the people he mends, his patients, who remain his motivation. “I’ve never seen what I do as work,” he explains. “I get to know these patients and their families, and many keep in touch.”
 
The Kings College London-trained surgeon, who has contributed to some 100 medical publications, and whose pioneering research has helped to determine guidelines for national lung cancer screening and the overall treatment of the disease, operates at The Harley Street Clinic, part of HCA Healthcare UK.

Menopause may be the hot topic of the moment, but until recently it was largely ignored by health practitioners. As Dr Robyn Cohen, a GP with a special interest in women’s and occupational health, puts it “something had to change.” Dr Cohen herself has done much to help drive that change – and pave the way for the Women’s Health Centre.
