Norah Schuster (1892-1991) qualified as a doctor at the University of Manchester in 1918. After working in the pathology departments of the Queen's Hospital for Children, Hackney Road, St George's Hospital, Hyde Park Corner, and the Infants Hospital, Vincent Square, in 1927 she was appointed pathologist to the Royal Chest Hospital, City Road. Apart from a period in the Emergency Medical Service from 1939 to 1943, she remained at the Royal Chest Hospital until its closure and demolition in 1954. She then worked at Pinewood Hospital, Wokingham, until her retirement in 1959. She was a founder fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists and in 1950 she was elected to the presidency of the Association of Clinical Pathologists.

The closure of the Royal Chest Hospital in 1954 prompted her to investigate the origins of what was the oldest chest hospital in Europe, founded in 1814, and to rehabilitate the reputation of its founder, Doctoor Isaac Buxton, unjustly attacked in E.W. Morris's History of the London Hospital.

See H33/RCH for a detailed history of the Royal Chest Hospital.
