Consultant orthopaedic surgeon Bath Hospitals 1964-88. As a student he went with a medical relief team to Belsen, an experience he found deeply moving. After national service in the Royal Air Force he became a clinical research assistant at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital and then first assistant to (Sir) Herbert Seddon, with whom he studied brachial plexus injuries, gaining the MD and the Robert Jones Gold Medal. He rejuvenated orthopaedic training at Bath, which became one of the first training centres to be recognised in Britain, and while continuing with his peripheral nerve work helped expand the operative treatment of patients with polyarthritis. He served on several bodies and was an examiner for the Royal College of Surgeons and a member of its council, as well as writing extensively and being a coauthor of an orthopaedic textbook. After retirement he continued with his college work and found time for travelling and gardening. Can you help? Please contact me with any information you may have. |
