Clinical Research in Britain 1950–1980
Wellcome Witnesses to Twentieth Century Medicine CLINICAL RESEARCH IN BRITAIN 1950–1980 A Witness Seminar held at the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, London, on 9 June 1998 Witness Seminar Transcript edited by L A Reynolds and E M Tansey Introduction by David Gordon Volume 7 – September 2000 CONTENTS Introduction David Gordon i Witness Seminars: Meetings and publications iii Transcript 1 Index 67 INTRODUCTION The British, it is said, are not revolutionary by nature. However, in the last century, we created two organizations that have revolutionized the possibility and reality of clinical research, with worldwide influence. The first was the formation of the Medical Research Council (MRC). The Medical Research Council was the successor of the Medical Research Committee, appointed in 1913 to administer funds provided under the National Health Insurance Act of 1911 (see note 49). While there may be doubt whether or not these funds were intended primarily for research into tuberculosis or for medical research more generally, we cannot doubt the boldness of the step. A government set aside money for medical research, rather than devoting the funds available for a medical problem solely to prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The second revolutionary step was the creation of the National Health Service. The National Health Service Act of 1946 gave Ministers powers not only to conduct research, but also to support the research work of others. The notion of a population- wide, compre h e n s i ve healthcare system, free to the patient at the point of consultation, and able to support the clinical infrastructure of research, was truly revolutionary, and might have been impossible were it not for the appetite for social change created by the Second World War. -

He was born in Fountainbridge, an area of Edinburgh, the youngest of four sons of the Reverend William Bell (1704 –1779), who died when Charles was five years old. His mother, Margaret Morris, was William Bell’s second wife and was the elder daughter of an Episcopalian clergyman in St Andrews, a seaside town north-east of Edinburgh. Her father was the head of the Episcopalian Church of Scotland, the Primus, in his time, reflecting the strong religious upbringing in Charles’s early development. -

So first and foremost, I have to thank Harini Sundararaghavan (aka “Dr.S”) for inviting me into her lab and affording me this opportunity. Without that invitation, this dissertation would not exist. Thank you Dr.S for encouraging me to pursue opportunities I would have other- wise passed up, for challenging me to step outside of my comfort zones (all those presentations!), and for reassuring me during times of disappointment. -
