| | Guardian | Dame Cicely Saunders |
 | | Saunders was to emerge as a strong character, more interested in other people's problems than her own self-pity. |
 | | In the late 1940s, Saunders began working part-time at St Luke's Home for the Dying Poor in Bayswater, and it was partly this which, in 1951, led her to begin study at St Thomas's to be a doctor. |
 | | There was always, Saunders would emphasise, so much more to be done, and she did it, as its medical director from 1967, and then, from 1985, as its chairman, a post she occupied until 2000, when she became president. |
