Aldrich-Blake was devoted to training students of the Royal Free Hospital's School of Medicine for Women, her own alma mater. She became Dean of the School in 1914. At the Royal Free Hospital, she was the first woman to hold the post of surgical registrar and also acted as an anesthetist.

She was the first to perform operations for cancers of the cervix and rectum. In 1924 she was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. She died in 1925 at the age of 59/60 from undisclosed causes.
