Sad news: Pioneer Dr David Williams (NG 1950) has died

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.
