We were saddened to hear of the recent death of Dr. David Williams (NG 1950), in January 2022.
David was an Assistant GP when an opportunity arose to become a Consultant in A&E as part of the first group of 32 Consultants in A&E in the UK. From then on he led an illustrious career in emergency medicine, becoming Clinical Director of the Emergency Department at St Thomas’ Hospital, a consultant at three London teaching hospitals and a fellow of five medical Royal Colleges. Having held leading positions in many other emergency medicine organisations, and having been a primary instigator of emergency medicine, he leaves a tremendous legacy for the next generation of emergency medicine specialists.
David is survived by his wife Ann.
