Bridget Kirkham, the inaugural CEO of the Medical Software Industry Association (MSIA), died in Sydney last week aged 65. Bridget worked tirelessly through her career championing the cause of health and healthcare in many roles.
She turned the MSIA organisation of interesting volunteer people into a collective view focused on the best outcomes for the patients while supporting an industry, innovation, and its operators. She was forthright in her conviction, but sensitive and caring in her demeanour and was concerned for the wellbeing of others, often at her own expense.
