Figure 1.
Stewart took up his first partnership in Benbecula, in the Western Isles, and moved to Stornoway in 1992. He made a major contribution to health care in the islands through his service on the health board, helping visiting consultants in respiratory medicine, and pioneering a personal medical services contract for his practice. He developed a model for reorganising out-of-hours care on Lewis. Stewart had a keen interest in immediate care, providing care to the Benbecula army base and serving with the coastguard helicopter in Stornoway. He combined this interest with a lifelong enthusiasm for cars by providing medical services to motor sport. His later years were marred by depression, and he took his own life. He leaves a wife, Diana, and her three children.
