{{Use dmy dates|date=January 2016}}Lucy Meredith Bryce (12 June 1897 – 30 July 1968) was an Australian haematologist and medical researcher, who worked with the Australian Red Cross Society to establish the first blood transfusion service in Australia.[1]

Early life and education

Lucy Bryce was born in Lindfield, New South Wales, and educated in Melbourne, at the Melbourne Girls Grammar School. She earned degrees at the University of Melbourne in 1918 (B.Sc.) and 1922 (M.B., B.S.).[2]

Career

Bryce started her career at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research after college. While still in her twenties, she spent a year working at the Lister Institute in London. From 1928 to 1934, she was on staff as a bacteriologist at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, before launching a private practice as a pathologist. During World War II, she held the rank of major in the Australian Army Medical Corps.[3] In 1948, she was called upon as an expert witness in a case involving the identification of two newborns, alleged to have been switched at birth.[4]

Beginning in 1929, Bryce was the founding director of the Victoria Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service, which was Australia's first blood transfusion service.[5] Her work involved planning how donors should be screened, and how blood should be typed and stored, and supervising the establishment of a blood reserve in case of major disaster.[6][7] She retired from active involvement in this work in 1954, but continued to hold her title as honorary chair of the transfusion committee until 1966.[8] She was named a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1951 for this work.[9] Bryce wrote a history of the transfusion service, An Abiding Gladness (1965), as well as many scientific articles.[10][11]

Personal life and legacy

Bryce died in 1968, age 72.[2]

There is a crater on Venus named for Bryce,[12] and a portrait of her is on display in Lucy Bryce Hall, which houses the Central Blood Bank in Melbourne.[13]

In 2001 Bryce was inducted to the Victorian Honour Roll of Women.
