About

Join us for a celebration of Dr A. Jean Ayres, on what would have been her 100th birthday.


The webinar will take the format of an interview, facilitated by Dr Annamarie van Jaarsveld, as we learn more about Jean Ayres as she was in her clinic; the clinician, the mentor and the amazing equipment that she developed.  Susanne Smith-Roley was privileged to study under her guidance and will share some of the legacy she left behind.
