Professional life and career
Postgraduate career
After qualifying Alison Prosser worked as a general medical officer at Holy Cross Hospital, in The Transkei in 1983, before returning to the UK to train in anaesthesia in Bristol and Wessex including Portsmouth. She worked as a clinical assistant in the latter centre for a time before completing her training and being appointed to a consultant post in 1995.
Professional interests and activities
As a consultant she specialised in chronic pain work, and was also an effective departmental chair (1999-2002). In 1996 she continued the quest for adventure she started in Africa by undertaking a period of voluntary work in war-torn Bosnia.
Other biographical information
Alison efficiently combined work with parenting and still found time for more hobbies than most people: walking, nature, cooking, tennis, animals, music and foreign travel. She died of complications of Ehler’s Danlos syndrome, leaving her parents, a son and a sister, Ros Woodcock.
