Throughout her life Dr. Sirridge has shown that women can achieve great things without sacrificing other aspects of their lives.

She has launched initiatives to help teachers learn from their students, and to improve opportunities for women in medicine to the benefit of their colleagues and patients. As an exemplar of her own philosophy she is also proud to serve as a role model for physicians who balance family life with a demanding career.
