Since then there have been 22 recipients of the Medal, either paediatricians or scientists, or both, and I like to think that Sir James would have approved of the choice of each and every one of them.

In paediatrics as a whole he built up a department in which all system specialties were represented, so that Edinburgh now provides a model paediatric service. John Forfar has been one of the most prolific contributors to the literature of paediatrics and his papers cover a wide range from basic science to social paediatrics. Two particular themes reveal his most consistent long term interests. The first is that of infantile calcium metabolism, hyper- and hypo- vitaminosis D, about which he first wrote in the 1950s and which he has continued to study-most recently in Saudi Arabia. The second subject is that of infection in the newborn. Like all his work his papers have combined scholarship with practical copyright. usefulness and good sense.

Honorary Secretary: Dr Lesley Rees Renal Office Great Ormond Street Hospital London WC1N 3JH. Printed by Alphagraphics, 42 Bull Street, Birmingham B4 6AF iii Foreword Paediatric nephrology in Great Britain began in Glasgow in 1950, paradoxically thirty-three years after we began performing open renal biopsies on children! Even by 1966, when arranging the inauguration of the European Society for Paediatric Nephrology here, Britain had only a handful of mainly part-time paediatric nephrologists, and it was not until 1972 that it seemed timely to bring together eight experts and suggest that an association be formed. One of the main reasons for such an association in Britain, as in Europe and internationally, is to make clear that babies and children are not just tiny adults, but require clinical care and advocacy from specially trained paediatric nephrologists. This record shows how the British Association for Paediatric Nephrology has struggled effectively to attain this objective. Another reason was to ensure that paediatric renal units, suitable training, research and knowledge were optimally used within the limited resources of the British health services. Once again this record shows that these targets have been highlighted, tackled and achieved to a greater or lesser extent.
