To celebrate International Women's Day I would like to tell you about the incredible Dr Laura Veale, the first female Doctor in Yorkshire.

Born just 2 years after Elizabeth Anderson (the first female doctor in the UK), Laura Veale was the daughter of the head doctor of the Swan Hotel.

Even by the time Elizabeth was into the late teens, medicine was still very much a boys game, no one in Yorshire would train her and even after gaining her qualifications in London. No one would employ her. So she opened her own general practice at 3 Victoria Avenue she became Yorkshire's first female doctor.

Throughout her career she continuously campaigned to improve medical care for women and children, including for those from more deprived parts of Yorkshire. As well as opening the towns first maternity warm at the shockingly late stage of 1935. It would appear that when it came to medicine, if it didn't apply to blokes, it didn't matter.

Dr Veale live well into her 90's continueing to engaging in charity work. She is remembered with her own plaque on Victoria avenue.
