TRIBUTES
Such an exquisite lady! I have such wonderful memories of our childhood with Ma ( Crispi) and Clare herding us all around , with the dogs, on the estuary.
Sending love to you all.

So pleased to have known Clare, although only for a short time. Such an amazing lady.

I first met Clare when we both appeared in the classic farce ‘Worms Eye View’ in Crewe, back in March, 2005.
A delightful lady. We got on very well and kept in touch ever since.
So sad that we won’t be having lunch beside the river Thames again, but l will always treasure the memories of the happy times we spent together.
Yours sincerely, from John Altman.
I have known Clare for nearly sixty years and am a Godfather to Griffith. We had some great adventures in Peru, Jordan and Pembrokeshire and i am going to miss her feistiness, her humour and her loyalty. I will remember her for her love of life and the many laughs we had over the years,
God Bless You! Brian

I don’t know where to start. Clare was such an amazing lady with a wonderful laugh. She was a role player/simulated patient at the ISU, University of Birmingham for many many years and she was so well regarded amongst us all. Everyone loved working with Clare, she was professional but she also knew how to put a smile on everyone’s face. I always looked forward to picking up the phone to her to book her for some work and to have a catch up at the same time. I will treasure my memories of her.

BSSD staff remember Clare’s exuberance,abiding youthfulness,wicked sense of humour and witty turn of phrase.
A supportive colleague,popular with the students,she would challenge and nurture them in equal measures.
Clare had great dramatic intellect,her productions were innovative and carefully crafted in order to bring out the best in her staff.A particularly memorable production of ‘Animal Farm’has been mentioned by many.
Clare will be remembered with fondness by us all.
BSSD Staff
My GP colleagues and I at Warwick Medical School are so saddened to learn that Clare is lost to us.
She worked with us, training medical students, by simulating particularly “difficult” patients with multiple complexities. Reacting all the time to the student’s words and gestures, her unscripted but skilled performances were wholly plausible. That realism was tough for some students, but many of them, now doctors, will remember consultations with one of her alter-egos as having been deeply formative and an important milestone in their preparation.
We send our condolences.

She went an extra mile for me at BSSTDA… thank you for teaching me and helping us xx
