Christine Heinrich

It is with deep sadness that we announce that Christine Heinrich passed away on Saturday
13th September.

Christine was at the forefront of veterinary ophthalmology in the UK and across the world. Committed to both clinical practice and teaching, she has inspired many of us with her enthusiasm for her subject, and her kindness in sharing all her knowledge with others. She was always helpful, inspiring, and generous with her suggestions and support. Christine has long been a member of BrAVO, its various committees and is a past President. Her commitment and contribution to the organisation was ongoing and will be hard to replace. Her presence at BrAVO meetings would simultaneously give greater academic weight to the proceedings while elevating the joy of any post meeting celebrations. Her skills for karaoke and dancing will always bring smiles to the faces of any who knew her.

Christine was a giant in our world, both in ophthalmology and in her presence in our lives. She will be sorely missed.
