She contributed extensively to the science, care and meticulous record-keeping that helped turn IVF from a dream into a clinical reality. Purdy’s work underpinned the early breakthroughs that gave hope to countless families struggling with infertility, and her dedication and scientific rigour helped ensure that IVF progressed with both compassion and precision.
