Biography

John Phillips was born on 6 July 1855 at Birchmoor Manor, Woburn. He was the son of Zachary Phillips. He was educated at Elstow (County) School, Bedford, St John's College, Cambridge (Natural Sciences Tripos, 1876), and at King's College London, qualifying in medicine in 1881.[2] He was elected as a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 1892, and as Professor of Obstetric Medicine at King's College London in 1904. He was an Examiner in Obstetric Medicine for the University of Cambridge and the University of London, and Consultant Physician in Obstetrics at King's College Hospital. He was appointed as Physician to the Queen in 1918.[3]

Phillips published widely in the field of Obstetrics, and his publications included Outline of Diseases of Women, 1893, which reached a fourth edition in 1906.[4]

He was twice married and had one son and three daughters.[5]

Phillips died on 8 December 1928.[6]

gollark: I should "help" people by breeding some of my incredibly messy BSA dragons to the AP.
gollark: I just saw and missed a silver in the coast... annoying.
gollark: I love autorefreshing, it's so much more convenient than just *waiting* for eggs to get enough views to hash.
gollark: This is irritating. There are so many prizes and silvers and golds in the AP and I *keep* missing them.
gollark: That is definitely a concern, I guess. Nobody has complained about it so far, but it's hardly widely-used.
