My friend Maggie Eisner, who has died aged 75, was a GP in Yorkshire who gave her utmost to her patients, her practice and to her young colleagues.

Within her practice in Shipley she established a service for home births in Bradford and led the GP training scheme, under which many cohorts of trainees benefited from her teaching. With patients she had a great personal touch, characterised by openness and a willingness to listen. For all of her work over the years she was honoured with a fellowship of the Royal College of General Practitioners.
