Welcome

Medicine at the University of Glasgow, has a longstanding and proud history of outstanding achievements in medical science, with contributions from renowned physicians such as Joseph Lister (antisepsis), George Beatson (breast cancer), John MacIntyre (X-rays and radiology), William Hunter (anatomy and obstetrics) and Ian Donald (ultrasound) to name just a few. In addition to achievements in medical science, the Faculty has produced distinguished literary figures such as Tobias Smollett and AJ Cronin.

We hope that you find these pages both entertaining and informative. If you are a previous graduate or staff member and wish to add your own reminiscences, or if you would like to provide us with feedback on our site, we would welcome your contributions. Enjoy.
