At The Della Fish Foundation, we believe in the transformative power of education, recognising its pivotal role in shaping a brighter future for healthcare. Join us on this journey as we collaborate, educate, and inspire, working towards a world where the pursuit of medical knowledge translates into tangible improvements in the quality of care provided to those who need it most.
My dear friend and colleague Madelaine Ann Fish (Della) died peacefully at home on 13th August 2022. She leaves an enormous gap. She lived a full life and was always true to her principles. Talented and brave she encouraged us to live well and to see the world, practically and philosophically in new ways. Her professional ideas were firmly grounded in her belief that ‘educational questions are not to be answered but addressed!’.
We are delighted to share with you a selection of Artwork Della left to the Foundation for our enjoyment and for use as a resource in education. Della's artwork has also been used to illustrate this website and we have developed one of her illustrations into a new logo for the Foundation.
