Biography Ronald Stanley Illingworth was born on 7 October 1909 in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England. He was educated at schools in Harrogate and Bradford and went with a scholarship in classics to read medicine at Leeds University. After graduating MB ChB in 1934 he held posts in hospital medicine and general practice and obtained the MD and MRCP in 1937, and the DPH and DCH in 1938. He worked at the Hospital for Sick Children at Great Ormond Street in London, and then as a Nuffield research student in Oxford.
Numerous claims are made against doctors or hospitals, on the grounds that a child’s intellectual or physical disability was caused by brain damage arising from negligence when he is found to be intellectually disabled or to have cerebral palsy; a plaintiff may blame the obstetrician for causing it during labour or delivery. The paediatrician needs to know the relevant prenatal factors that tell a different story. A carefully written contemporaneous record of prenatal conditions, of proper management in pregnancy, of foetal monitoring in labour and of skilled management after birth may go a long way to the disposal of an unjustified claim.
In the older infant or preschool child, he should detect features such as clumsiness, or features of specific learning disorders, whose recognition is important for the school teacher.

By his developmental and physical examination, he makes an early diagnosis of disability not only for treatment but also for the purpose of counselling the parents.
