David Robert Harvey FRCP (born 7 December 1936 in Bromley, died 10 April 2010) was a British paediatrician and considered by his peers to be a champion of the less privileged. Harvey was most notable for developing the training of neonatal medicine doctors at a time when the speciality had no official recognition.[1][2] Harvey was homosexual and never afraid to disclose it, even at the beginning of his career, when homophobia was more prominent.[2]
