British sociologist (born 1925)

For the American politician, see [Anne Cartwright](/source/Anne_Cartwright).

**Ann Cartwright** (born 1925) is a British statistician and socio-medical researcher. Her Institute for Social Studies in Medical Care was launched by [Michael Young](/source/Michael_Young%2C_Baron_Young_of_Dartington), initially under the auspices of his [Institute of Community Studies](/source/Institute_of_Community_Studies) where Cartwright went to work in 1960.[1][2]

The Institute produced numerous books and reports for the Department of Health which explored issues with the use and perception of primary medical care in Britain.[3] One report (*Medicine Takers, Prescribers & Hoarders*, 1972) was written with [Karen Dunnell](/source/Karen_Dunnell), now the UK's [National Statistician](/source/National_Statistician).[4] Others included *Patients & Their Doctors* (1967), *Parent & Family Planning Services* (1970), *Life Before Death* (1973, with Hockey & Anderson and *The Role of Residential and Nursing Homes in the Last Year of People's Lives* (1988).

Cartwright retired in 1993 and the institute was subsequently disbanded.
