We are deeply saddened to learn of the untimely death of Anthony Mander, Consultant Gynaecologist who, since retiring from the NHS, specialised in menopause health and lifestyle, working in both in Oxford and Oldham.
Tony worked as a Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist at The Royal Oldham Hospital for many years, where he developed a particular interest in medical education, both at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Tony also had a special interest in nutrition and the menopause, publishing a number of books on the topic and becoming President of the Food & Health Forum at the Royal Society of Medicine between 2019 and 2021.
Tony was a long-standing BMS member and a stalwart of the society from the beginning. He served on the British Menopause Society council from 1997 until 2008, holding the post of Treasurer. He was Associate Editor of the BMS journal, Post Reproductive Health, a registered BMS menopause specialist and a BMS menopause trainer and many members will have been trained by him over the years.
Away from medicine, Tony enjoyed cartography, literature, history and cricket – both as a spectator and as a player and umpire for the ‘Far from the madding crowd’ team (FFTMCC).
A full obituary will be published in the BMS journal.
