Francis (Frank) Tidswell (1867 ā 26 February 1941)[1] was an Australian physician who served as the Director of the Government Bureau of Microbiology, New South Wales from 1908 until 1913.[2] In this role he has been noted as "a pathologist of distinction who never sublimated his personality to his public service role."[3] From 1925, until his death in 1941, Tidswell was the Director of Pathology at the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children in Sydney.[3] In an obituary, The Medical Journal of Australia wrote of him as an "extremely clear thinker, young in mind and receptive of new ideas. In his gentleness of manner, and quiet courtesy, the [children's] hospital has lost a most valued specialist."[4] Tidswell is considered one of Australia's pioneering microbiologists.[5]
