Claire McLINTOCK Obituary

I am so sorry to hear about Claire's passing. She was such a lovely woman and a truly inspiring leader in the field. I first met her in 2012 when I saw her presentation on obstetric haemorrhage, which had me spellbound. It was an incredible lecture (she was always such a charismatic presenter).

After the lecture, I plucked up the courage to chat with her and it was such an enriching moment in my research career. She was so lovely, listening to my ideas and offering her advice and expertise! We went on to collaborate on some research projects. I was always excited when I heard she was attending a conference or giving a lecture and I would make sure to attend her lecture.
What a massive loss for the field of obstetric haematology. My sincerest condolences to her family and friends.

I was very affected when finding out about Claire's passing. She was the reason I survived the aftermath of my first pregnancy, and secondly, the reason I eventually had a second child. Her compassion and empathy while giving her absolute best advice will never be forgotten by myself or my family.

I will never forget your laugh or the way your smile lit up a room. When I was a very junior doctor with imposter syndrome your encouragement and wisdom was invaluable. I will never forget your incredible mind and gargantuan heart. You have left us too soon but your splendour will live on in your wonderful whanau. Words are not enough to express your loss. Arohanui to Claire´s loved ones - how fortunate you are to have been loved by such a magnificent person.

I am terribly sadden to hear the news of Claire's passing. Claire treated me during my pregnancy with my first (and only) baby. During my time in hospital, surgeries and treatment for the months that followed Claire was the most amazing support during the toughest year of my life. She truly was a power house and one of a kind who always went above and beyond. My thoughts and love go to her family.

Sincere condolences to Claire´s family. I had the pleasure of collaborating with Claire over many years. Her passion and excitement for improving women´s health would light up a conference room. The enthusiasm was infectious urging us all to care for women better.
Vale Claire.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I have only today heard the sad news of your loss from our neighbour here in the UK. Sending my deepest sympathy and condolences to you and your family. Ted

My heartfelt condolences to you John and family. I had the privilege of knowing Claire through work over 20 years ago. She was a truly special person - warm, funny, kind, vibrant and completely inspirational. Her personality filled the room.
Rest in peace Claire.

Oh John, this is such an enormous lost to not only you and yours, her family, friends, patients and the rest of us who were privileged to have dealings with her. However, Physics... energy merely transforms... can be a comfort to some. Much love to you Vita and Hart, Niki and all her friends and loved ones. An incandescent firebrand. Arohanui Brenda Kendall

I would like to share my heartfelt condolences to Claire's family. I had the privledge of working with her via the ISTH and World Thrombosis Day. We were all so inspired by Claire--she always brought warmth and enthusiasm to everything. Personally, I always appreciated that she took the time to sit down and chat no matter how busy she was. She was a great listener and gave great advice!

My thoughts are with her family during this time. She will be so missed!

Dear Claire, you were such a warm and wonderful presence whenever we met. The International Network of Obstetric Survey Systems and our yearly get-togethers, and all the other fora that brought and should have continued to bring us together, will never be the same without you. Heartfelt condolences go out to John, Hart, Vita, Anthony and all your other loved ones. Thank you for your tireless efforts for women's and global health.

Our deepest and sincere condolences to all family and friends on behalf of her colleagues from the Van Creveldkliniek, Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Claire was an extraordinary person and a warm and caring doctor. My heart goes out to her family.

I will be forever grateful for the advice and care from Doctor Claire. She gave me hope that with my blood clotting condition I could have a baby. She then helped me through the IVF process and the inevitable clot in my first trimester. My beautiful daughter is almost 2 and has fiery red hair! Thank you Doctor Claire for giving me my daughter, and on behalf of my family condolences to your family and friends.

We will all miss Claire, who loved life and her family so much.

She was generous with her time and made all our lives richer as an outstanding doctor, wonderful colleague, and inspiring leader.

We were very grateful for her sharing of her optimism for a better world-a fantastic patient and woman´s advocate who proudly positioned New Zealand high on the international stage.

Vale Claire, my heartfelt sympathy to her loving family and friends.

Claire, I feel enormously privileged to have known and worked with you. Truly a Rockstar clinician. You were always so
generous in sharing your time and expertise. You brought great energy and inspired others and you looked for solutions rather than accepted barriers.

You knew how important it was to establish cross professional relationships - thank you for the times you came to OR to help out with a bleed or were available at the end of the phone. Also all that you did to collaborate on an Iron in Pregnancy protocol and the beginning of the HOW Collaborative amongst many other massive contributions.

You were such a strong advocate for excellent patient care and the evidence base, and your talks were always informative and entertaining.

I'm truly saddened by your loss and will miss you greatly.

My deepest and heartfelt sympathy to your family.

On behalf of the Haemophilia Foundation of New Zealand, thank you Claire for being a true friend and advocate for our community. You blended both art and science in the way you treated women with bleeding disorders. You always gave so freely of your time for our cause. You have made an immeasurable difference to us all and will be forever missed. Deepest sympathies to your family.

Wonderful beautiful Claire.
I had the privilege to be a haemotology patient of yours since 2016.
You literally saved my life.
I wasn't doing well and asked if I may not make it, you looked me in the eyes and said not on my watch and you meant it.

You continued to be my power house right up to my plan for my last surgery in september
, always there any time I ever needed you, as you said even for a chat.
I quite simply will never never forget you.
You most amazing lady.
Xx

Lisa Thompson.

Our deepest condolences to John, Hart, Vita, Anthony and her loved ones.

The Haematology community will greatly miss Claire; a passionate, vivacious, inspirational colleague who was always kind, generous and radiated strength in everything she did. She touched us all in her own special way; I still remember her energy from working with her more than two decades ago: it resonates still.... She will be very much missed by all.

Ka aroha hoki
With deepest sympathy.. may you rest in peace Claire x.

My heartfelt condolences to Claire's family. Claire was a joyful and wonderful person. She was a great speaker and teacher in the Asia Pacific Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (APSTH) meetings. She gave fiery lectures and would always have pictures of her beautiful family in her presentations. I remember she loved trying out new dishes and would always make it a point to enroll in cooking classes in the various countries she visited. She will be dearly missed by all as well as in the upcoming APSTH2023 to be held in Kuching, Sarawak.
Goodbye Claire. God bless.

We are very sorry that our dear friend Claire McLintock has just passed away.
She was a great friend of Mexico and also gave many academic support to different countries in Latin America. During her frequent visits to our region, she was always a distinguished speaker at various institutions as the National Cancer Institute, the National Institute of Cardiology and the Hospital of Gynecology in Mexico.
She leaves an enormous legacy among us and she will always be in the heart of Latin American people.

To Dr. Claire´s family, please accept my sincere condolences. We were connected through various APSTH congresses over the years. She was a true leader and teacher in APSTH activities in every meeting and she will be missed in many ways.

A flaming role model in so many ways and the most brilliant Scottish-Kiwi ever! Bonailie. Aroha atu, aroha mai.

Dear John, Hart and Vita,

An absolute power in the world of Haematology, and a passionate advocate for women in thrombosis research. Heartfelt condolences to the family of Claire, and to her New Zealand and Australian colleagues.

Dear Johnny, Hart and Vita. Words cannot express how much I will miss Claire. A giant in the field of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, she tirelessly fought for Womens' health and rights. It was a deep privilege to have known her. She will never ever be forgotten. Thinking of you all with much love and sending my deepest condolences, Fionnuala Ní Áinle (ISTH, Ireland)

We say good bye to Claire with love and the best memories form Argentina, and we accompany her husband John, two daughters Hart and Vita and friends at this time. Beatriz, Hector, Eugenia and Florencia.

Sincere thoughts to you and your family

Claire, always a formidable presence. You will be missed. Sincere condolences to all family, friends and colleagues.

Claire, you were amazing. An inspiration for you colleagues & a tireless advocate for your patients.
You made a difference.
You will be missed in so many ways.

I knew Claire through our shared passion for women's issues in thrombosis. I considered her a friend, as well as a colleague (I think most of us who worked with her felt the same). This a hard loss. She was such a vibrant, fierce (overused word in general but not in Claire's case), smart, kind, and brave woman. She has always been one of my favorite people. The world is much smaller and dimmer without her and I miss her already. Condolences to her family and close friends.

Claire, thanks for your friendship and for all you did for haematology. You were a pleasure as well as a challenge to work with. Rest In Peace.

My sincere condolences, I Met personally Dr. Claire in a Congress in Queretaro, Mexico a few years ago, she was awesome, very nice and kind, I will never forget her nor her teachings. Rest in peace Dear Dr Claire.

To Dr Claire's family, please accept my deepest condolences. Her contribution to the medical field will always be remembered.

It was a honour to know Claire, a true scholar and a wonderful human being.

Larger than life and we connected through ISTH in the various Congresses through the years. She shared her passion of Thrombosis in every occasion I interacted with her and left me with no choice but to drive the message of thrombosis at every opportunity I had. She will be greatly missed.
