LHB1/1-61A (PDF) LHB1 ROYAL INFIRMARY OF EDINBURGH 1 Manager’s Minutes, 1728-1948 This series of minutes encompasses the beginnings of the charitable hospital from 1728 through to the inception of the NHS in 1948 and the various changes in administrative structure which have taken place since then. (The period 1974-1984 is listed in LHB28: South Lothian District of the Lothian Health Board). Managers’ Minutes, 1728-1948 These minutes record the managers’ administration of the Infirmary when it was run as a charitable institution. In addition to showing the day-to-day running of the Infirmary, they include rules and regulations, notes of staff appointments and of legacies and major contributions to the Infirmary. Until 1871 they include minutes of the General Court of Contributors, which from 1818 contain the Managers’ annual report to the Contributors. Before this date, the minutes of the Court of Contributors only include a summary of the number of patients treated and of the accounts. The Managers’ Minutes also record the annual meetings of the Ordinary and Extraordinary Managers at which the election of the Ordinary Members (ie those responsible for the day-to-day running of the Infirmary) took place. From November 1869 the minutes of each meeting of Ordinary Managers normally includes a return of patient numbers. The frequency of meetings varies: in the eighteenth century the managers met approximately every month, with additional meetings as the need arose, from 1818 they generally met weekly and from 1910 fortnightly. Minutes of the Board of Management of the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and Associated Hospitals, 1948-1974 With the introduction of the NHS in 1948, the RIE ceased to be supported by voluntary contributions and came under the control of the Board of Management of the RIE & Associated Hospitals. The series continues, therefore, with the minutes of the Board of Management of the RIE & Associated Hospitals. Certain committee minutes are also included such as General Purpose, Medical, Radiological, Finance and Law, Nursing, Works and Buildings, Establishment, Comforts Fund and the Dental Hospital Committee. Minutes, 1974-1984 In 1974 the Boards of Management were disbanded and the South Lothian District of Lothian Health Board became responsible for managing RIE as one of its hospitals until 1984 (see LHB28). Minutes, 1984-1994 The South Lothian District was abolished in 1984, with more responsibility being devolved to hospital level through the Unit Management Team of the RIE (see LHB42). Minutes 1994- From 1994 the RIE was managed by its own NHS Trust (LHB43), and in 1999 the Trusts in Lothian were reorganised and the RIE came under Lothian University Hospitals NHS Trust. From 2004 the Trusts ceased to exist and Lothian University Hospitals became a division of NHS Lothian.

(Ed)., Hon. M.D. (Edin. Univ.), Hon. F.R.C.P. & S. Canada, F.R.S.E., died suddenly in Edinburgh, December 10, 1973. He was 76. He was born on August 26, 1897, of Scottish-Huguenot descent, grandson and son of celebrated Edinburgh art dealers. He was educated at George Heriot's School in Edinburgh, and was later to become presi- dent of its Former Pupil's Association. On leaving school he became an apprentice joiner and engineer, but in 1913 he sustained a severe hip injury in a motorcycle accident and whilst undergoing hospital treatment was so intrigued by medical affairs that he decided to become a medical student. His studies began in the Edinburgh University Medical School in 1914, and he was graduated M.B., Ch.B., in 1919. During his training in general surgery, he became actively engaged in original experi- mental physiological work on gastric secre- tion and on the thyroid and pituitary glands in the department of Sharpey-Schaeffer. He took the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 1923, and became Assistant Surgeon to the Deaconess Hospital and Chalmers Hospital in Edinburgh. His important physiological studies on the pituitary gland stimulated him to seek and obtain a Rockefeller traveling fellowship, enabling him to become a junior associate in neurological surgery in the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, under Dr.

  • The Decisive Mentoring of Harvey Cushing and Percival Bailey at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital
    HISTORICAL VIGNETTE J Neurosurg 127:927–940, 2017 Norman M. Dott, master of hypothalamic craniopharyngioma surgery: the decisive mentoring of Harvey Cushing and Percival Bailey at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital Ruth Prieto, MD, PhD,1 and José M. Pascual, MD, PhD2 1Department of Neurosurgery, Puerta de Hierro University Hospital; and 2Department of Neurosurgery, La Princesa University Hospital, Madrid, Spain Norman McOmish Dott (1897–1973) developed surgical neurology in Edinburgh, Scotland, and was a scholar of world- wide renown. One of Dott’s most notable contributions to neurosurgery was his understanding of hypothalamic physiol- ogy, mostly acquired through the comprehensive study of patients with lesions involving this region of the diencephalon, particularly craniopharyngiomas (CPs). Recognition of symptoms caused by hypothalamic disturbances allowed him to predict the accurate anatomical relationships between CPs and the hypothalamus, despite the rudimentary radiological methods available during the 1930s. His sophisticated knowledge permitted Dott to perform radical removals of CPs originating within the third ventricle floor with acceptable success. Between 1934 and 1937, he operated on 4 CP cases originating in the hypothalamus, achieving a satisfactory postoperative outcome in 3 of the 4 patients. Aware of the strong attachment of hypothalamic CPs to the infundibulo-tuberal area, Dott used a double transbasal and transventricu- lar approach to these lesions, a strategy providing an optimal view and control of the tumor boundaries. The decisive mentorship of several legendary figures of physiology and neurosurgery greatly influenced Dott’s surgical evolution. The experimental pituitary gland work he performed with Sir Edward Sharpey-Schäfer at the beginning of his career stirred Dott’s curiosity about the issue of hypothalamus-pituitary relationships.

Level of Description: Date(s) of Description: 1981; revised March 2009; listed 2018 Administrative/Biographical History: John Bruce (1905‐1975) was born in Dalkeith. He graduated at Edinburgh University with Honours in 1928. After appointments at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, he worked for a time as assistant in general practice at Grimsby. When he returned to Edinburgh he ran with Ian Aird (later Professor Aird) a course for the final Fellowship examinations ‘of such excellence that few candidates felt they could appear for the exam without having attended it’. On the 17th May 1932 he became a Fellow of this College. In World War II, he served with distinction in the Royal Army Medical Corps, first in Orkney and then in Norway. Later, he was Brigadier and Consulting Surgeon with the XIVth Army in India and Burma. In 1951, at the Western General Hospital, he and Wilfred Card set up what was probably the first gastro‐intestinal unit in which a physician and a surgeon were in joint charge. In 1956 he was appointed Regius Professor of Surgery at Edinburgh University. Sir John was a sound general surgeon with a particular interest in carcinoma of the breast and in gastro‐intestinal disease. He was a consummate surgical pathologist, wrote notable papers and contributed many chapters in various textbooks.

  • A History of the Society of British Neurological Surgeons 1926 to Circa 1980
    C A History of the Society of British Neurological Surgeons 1926 to circa 1980 T T King 1 History of SBNS The Society of British Neurological Surgeons, founded in 1926, is the second oldest neurosurgical society in the world after The Society of Neurological Surgeons in America which dates from 1920. The first account of its origin and history is contained in the “Notes on History of the Society"1 by Geoffrey Jefferson which appeared in the version of 1956, in the Society’s handbook. Later handbooks contained an account by J Pennybacker. Copies of these are attached as an appendix, with some material, additional to these accounts, by P Clarke covering 1976-1980 and A E Richardson, for1980 -1984. A more extended and recent history was by JM Potter1. Discussions had taken place between Jefferson, Sir Charles Ballance, Percy Sargent, Wilfred Trotter, Louis Bathe Rawling, Donald Armour, James Learmonth and Norman Dott, “all of whom had favoured the formation of neurological surgical group, something that would be as much a small scientific club as a formal Society”. Jefferson had been encouraged in this by Harvey Cushing. The Society was created at a meeting and dinner at the Athenaeum Club, London, given by Ballance on Thursday, 2 December 19262. Jefferson remarks that the dinner was attended by seventeen persons which included “the five already mentioned” though he had, in fact, mentioned seven, apart from himself. There were present five guests: Sir David Ferrier, Sir Grafton Elliot Smith, Sir Edward Sharpey-Schafer, Sir Arthur Keith and Dr A. W Ballance, Sir Charles’s son who took no further part in the Society.
