John, born 12 October 1929, was a consultant in the Northern Ireland Plastic and Maxillo Facial Service. During his time as a Consultant Surgeon the 'Northern Ireland Troubles' were taking place and John was deeply involved in the restorative surgery for the unfortunate victims. In addition to his normal work, he undertook the role of lead clinician for Maxillo Facial Surgery, after the retirement of Roy Whitlock in 1983.
John was interested in yachting and rowing and he became captain of the Queen’s University Rowing Club in the 1950-1951 season. In 1956 he married Jane and they had three children, Dermot, Lesley and Anne. Sadly, his wife Jane pre-deceased him in the year 2000.
John Gorman was a gentleman respected by his colleagues and friends.

I first met Mr Winstock in 1972 while I was preparing for my final FDS examination when he gave a surgical demonstration at the Eastman Dental Hospital.
Donald was born in 1924, the youngest of six children and brought up in East London to a family of immigrant Russian Jews. He studied dentistry at the Royal Dental Hospital obtaining his BDS in 1948 before doing medicine at St Bartholomew’s Hospital obtaining his MBBS at the age of 29 years in 1953. As a medical student he worked as a dentist and married his childhood sweetheart, Tess, who supported him without hesitation through 63 years of marriage.
Most of his working life as a consultant in oral and maxillofacial surgery was spent at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, The Middlesex, Edgware General and Royal Dental Hospital in Leicester Square. He was an inspiring teacher. He obtained his FDSRCS in1959. Countless trainees benefitted by assisting him in the theatre and gaining surgical skills by watching his masterly incisions and wound closures. He was a stalwart among the few oral surgeons to sit the FRCS(OMFS) in maxillofacial surgery by examination in 1985 at the age of 60, when it was initially bestowed by the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh). He published widely on dental extractions in haemophilia and apical disease treated by retrograde surgical techniques.
Donald loved visiting Commonwealth countries to offer voluntary services, both as a visiting surgeon and a teacher. A man with great surgical skills and integrity who could adapt to any theatre conditions with minimum equipment, he operated on many patients and achieved good outcomes, though often the cases had been listed as too advanced to operate.
He retired from the NHS in 1989 after 30 years of service as a consultant to four hospitals in London. He loved the theatre, musicals and lying in the sun. He leaves behind his wife, Tess, three children, April, Grant and Adam, and five grandchildren. Both sons followed his footsteps in their respective medical careers.<br/>Resource Identifier RCS: E010339<br/>Collection Plarr's Lives of the Fellows<br/>Format Obituary<br/>Format Asset<br/>First Title value, for Searching Hopkins, Russell (1932 - 2020)ent://SD_ASSET/0/SD_ASSET:3867832024-05-13T01:22:56Z2024-05-13T01:22:56Zby Adrian Sugar<br/>Publication Date 2023-07-03<br/>Asset Path Root/Lives of the Fellows/E010000-E010999/E010200-E010299<br/>Occupation Oral and maxillofacial surgeon<br/>Details Born in Sunderland on 30 April 1932, Russell Hopkins went to dental school in Newcastle, followed by dental practice in Hartlepool, Cambridge, Salisbury, and Southern Rhodesia developing an interest in general anaesthesia. Returning to an SHO post at Nottingham General Hospital including maxillofacial injuries, he worked for Tom Battersby, treating a population of 2 million, including all facial traumas. Russell worked hard, had natural surgical talent and gave the anaesthetics for two GA lists weekly in A&E.
As registrar in Chertsey he came under the influence of Norman Rowe. Medical school followed at the Royal Free, with medicine in Croydon and surgery at Bolinbrook Hospital where he befriended his resident surgical officer, Bill Heald.
After a senior registrar post in Newcastle, he was appointed consultant in OMFS in Cardiff, establishing himself with his then senior registrar, Khursheed Moos. Hospital consultants were held in low esteem by the dean and some academics and he was not allowed to teach students. They nevertheless queued to join his clinics and operating lists. He took over facial trauma management in Cardiff becoming chair of dental staff, and then medical staff, establishing joint clinics in orthodontics with Derek Seel, and in maxillofacial prosthetics with John Bates, and then significantly with Derek Stafford. He was proud of giving trainees quality surgical training and of their subsequent distinguished careers. In 1970 he married Jill and they had three children, Richard, Claire, and Robert.
Russell sat on several national BMA committees and between 1985 and 1991 became general manager of the University Hospital of Wales, one of the first clinicians to be a senior manager. He rectified some deplorable conditions of the estate and took on vested interests that short changed the NHS and was awarded an OBE in 1989.
President of BAOMS [British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons] in 1993, he went on to chair health trusts. He could be tough, provocative, and outrageous, but could also be a delight to work with. He wrote in his autobiography, ‘Some clinical managers forgot they were clinicians and that ethical and quality care of patients was their number one priority. Because of this an increasing number of NHS disasters filled the headlines’. He had no idea that he would become one of its victims. Eventually his medical problems caught up with him and he died peacefully in his sleep on 2 February 2020.<br/>Resource Identifier RCS: E010265<br/>Collection Plarr's Lives of the Fellows<br/>Format Obituary<br/>Format Asset<br/>First Title value, for Searching Hoggins, Geoffrey Slaney (1916 - 2000)ent://SD_ASSET/0/SD_ASSET:3870942024-05-13T01:22:56Z2024-05-13T01:22:56Zby J K<br/>Publication Date 2023-08-10<br/>Asset Path Root/Lives of the Fellows/E010000-E010999/E010400-E010499<br/>Occupation Oral and maxillofacial surgeon<br/>Details Geoffrey Slaney Hoggins, consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon, died on January 4 2000, aged 84.
‘Geoff’ as he was affectionately known by colleagues throughout the hospital service in the Midlands, was educated at Bedford School, King Edward’s School Birmingham, and Birmingham University. He qualified LDS (Birm) in 1937. BDS followed in 1946, and FDSRCS (Eng) in 1949.
Before he retired he held consultant appointments at three hospitals, the Children's and Selly Oak Hospitals in Birmingham, and Walsall General Hospital. Together these represented a heavy load, but hospital work was Geoff's life, and he enjoyed it. He was always kind and caring towards his patients and his junior staff.
In 1940 he volunteered for service in the Army Dental Corps spending five years overseas with various medical units under Middle East and India commands. He returned to England in 1945, and was demobilised in 1946, with the rank of major. He then became surgeon in charge of the General Anaesthetic Department at Birmingham Dental Hospital until 1953. Many of the older Birmingham graduates will remember with gratitude his teaching of safe dental extractions under general anaesthesia for out-patients. In those days this was a normal procedure in general dental practice.
Geoff was an enthusiastic member of many professional societies including the BDA, with the Hospitals branch, the Oral Surgery Club of Great Britain and Birmingham Medical Institute, of which he was president of the Odontological section in 1962. He was a founder fellow of the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons, and a founder member of the Midland Clinical Club, and past president.
He published several papers describing rare and interesting conditions he found in the course of his professional career. Apart from his work, he had great enthusiasm for art, motor cars, wine, and above all for the restoration of antique clocks.
When he returned to England in 1945, Geoff married Mary Isobel Prince, a girl who had been in the same academic year as himself. Sadly ‘Molly’, as she was always called, died after a short illness in 1971. Geoff slowly recovered, and in 1973 married Mary Eileen McShane who was consultant anaesthetist to Walsall hospitals. Incredibly, after only 12 years she also died in 1985. But in spite of these tragedies Geoff still had a good life and the best years of the Health Service.
He leaves two daughters, Jane and Sarah, by his first marriage, and three grand- children.<br/>Resource Identifier RCS: E010407<br/>Collection Plarr's Lives of the Fellows<br/>Format Obituary<br/>Format Asset<br/>First Title value, for Searching Oldham, Laurence (1931 - 2019)ent://SD_ASSET/0/SD_ASSET:3867862024-05-13T01:22:56Z2024-05-13T01:22:56Zby Alasdair G Miller<br/>Publication Date 2023-07-03<br/>Asset Path Root/Lives of the Fellows/E010000-E010999/E010200-E010299<br/>Occupation Oral and maxillofacial surgeon<br/>Details Laurence, the consultant who developed Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery services in Somerset, a gifted postgraduate educator, passed away on 2 October 2019.
Born in 1931, the son of a headmaster, he was educated at Ashby Grammar School. He graduated from the University of Birmingham in 1955, followed by a House Officer post, which included a resident post at Birmingham General Hospital; this awakened his enthusiasm for surgery.
He gained his FDS in 1958. He was awarded a Rotary Foundation Fellowship to the USA, spending 1959-60 at the University of Pennsylvania. The Fellowship included a lecture tour of Rotary Clubs across the USA. This honed his skills as a lecturer and raconteur, which became a life-long activity.
He was appointed as a lecturer at the University of Manchester in Oral Surgery, working with Gordon Ashcroft, who in the previous year had published a seminal paper on effective exodontia with Patrick Pawsey. In 1965 Laurence was seconded to the New Mulago Hospital in Kampala, Uganda. There he gained ten years surgical experience in two years.
He was appointed Consultant Oral Surgeon in Taunton in 1968, over the next 25 years he built up the maxillofacial service. Latterly he was appointed to the Board of Somerset Health Authority and acted as the bridge between clinicians and management. He retired in 1991. His retirement dinner was attended by over 85% of his ex- SHO’s.
Not one to rest on his laurels, in retirement Laurence chaired St Margaret’s Hospice Trust in Taunton for 12 years, then became secretary to the UK Chairs of Independent Hospices and vice-President. He led the University of Bristol BUOLD Oral Surgery distance learning programme, with over 300 dentists gaining from his knowledge. He was on the governing body of Queens College, Taunton for 12 years. He lectured on a wide range of topics to local groups and was an active member of the Oral Surgery Travelling Club. He was a pianist, motor cyclist and attended the Hay Literary Festival.
Laurence will be greatly missed for his compassion, wisdom and humour. He leaves a wife, Diana of over 50 years, two sons, Mark a Professor of Medical Physics in the USA and James an osteopath who was a lecturer at the University of Plymouth Medical School, and a grandson Tej. To them we extend our condolences. Those of us who worked for Laurie felt very privileged to have known him.<br/>Resource Identifier RCS: E010268<br/>Collection Plarr's Lives of the Fellows<br/>Format Obituary<br/>Format Asset<br/>First Title value, for Searching Cheney, Geoffrey Thomas (1935 - 2008)ent://SD_ASSET/0/SD_ASSET:3870322024-05-13T01:22:56Z2024-05-13T01:22:56Zby Janet M Heath<br/>Publication Date 2023-08-02<br/>Asset Path Root/Lives of the Fellows/E010000-E010999/E010300-E010399<br/>Occupation Oral and maxillofacial surgeon<br/>Details On 27 May 2008 family, friends and former colleagues gathered at St Margaret’s Church, Hapton, Norfolk to say farewell to Geoffrey Cheney.
Geoffrey was born in Hampshire in 1935, the youngest of five children. After leaving school he undertook his National Service in the Royal Navy. He then became a Midshipman and was seconded to HMS Ocean. Geoffrey was an officer on one of the support landing craft and amongst his many assignments was to go to the Woomera Rocket Range. He also witnessed the explosion of the American hydrogen bomb at Bikini Atoll. He retained his interest in the Navy with involvement in the Royal Naval Reserve and was awarded the Reserve Decoration.
In 1957 he entered Guy’s Hospital Dental School. He qualified in 1962 and after a hospital post and a spell in general dental practice, he returned to Guy's in 1965 to study Medicine. He obtained his Dental Fellowship in 1967 and qualified medically in 1970. He was a Registrar at the Eastman Dental Hospital and later Senior Registrar on the East Grinstead/Guy’s rotation.
In 1974 he was appointed Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. He was a most caring, conscientious and highly respected surgeon, who enjoyed a warm relationship with his colleagues. His most celebrated case, which was reported nationally, was the removal of a bullet that had become lodged behind the eye of Tenneh Cole, a little girl from Sierra Leone. Tenneh is now 19 years old, alive and well.
Geoffrey was Dental Tutor at Norwich for a number of years. He organised such excellent courses that practitioners travelled from far and wide to attend. In 1993 he was appointed Director of Postgraduate Dental Education in East Anglia, a post he held until retirement in December 2000.
Geoffrey was a great raconteur and loved entertaining. He enjoyed cooking and was very knowledgeable about wine. More recently he had taken up painting as a hobby.
Sadly, his wife Susie predeceased him. He leaves two step-children, Kate and Jeremy, of whom he was very proud, and four step-grandchildren.

He was born in Charlton, London, to Harold Theodore Lamb, a captain in the Merchant Marine, and Rhoda Mary Lamb née Clark, a headteacher in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. In the Second World War, aged just six and a half, he lost his father but was very fortunate to go to school with his brother and cousins at The King’s School, Canterbury, due to the generosity of an uncle, who was responsible for the Photo-Me photography booths found at stations, post offices and the like, and the aircraft strobe navigation lights used on all aircraft. He greatly enjoyed his school days, soon rising to become a prefect. His education and upbringing there formed the backbone of his moral compass and his drive for excellence in all that he undertook.
He qualified in dentistry and then medicine at Guy’s Hospital and, after junior appointments in these fields, including a stint as a casualty officer, he was appointed as a rotating senior registrar at the plastic and jaw injuries centre at the Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead and at Guy’s Hospital, London.
In 1969 he was seconded for six months to Kaduna, Nigeria during the Biafran War to develop and run that country’s only maxillofacial surgery unit, which was attached to the Armed Forces Division 1 Base Hospital.
In 1971 he was appointed as a consultant at Addenbrooke’s and Peterborough District hospitals and took on the task of establishing a maxillofacial surgery unit at Peterborough, with satellite units in Stamford, Wisbech, King’s Lynn, Papworth and Doddington.
During the 1970s he advised on the design and later oversaw the commissioning of a new maxillofacial surgery department at Peterborough, which incorporated for the first time a fully equipped day surgery unit, including a recovery ward within the maxillofacial surgery outpatient clinic suite.
Bill was a member of several regional committees, including those for manpower and postgraduate education and in 1974 he was appointed as a regional postgraduate dean for the dental specialties, a post he held until 1980. He was very keen on the establishment of a clinical medical school at Addenbrooke’s, and he worked with many others to bring this about.
In 1976 he started monthly joint head and neck oncology clinics at Peterborough and also regular joint meetings there with the histopathologists. Throughout his 32-year appointment to Addenbrooke’s and Peterborough District hospitals, he provided an on-call emergency service for patients who had sustained facial and jaw injuries across Cambridgeshire and south Lincolnshire. This extended further to his being one of the first consultants to volunteer for the Mid Anglia General Practitioner Accident Service (MAGPAS) Air Ambulance as medic 22 in the early 80s; his route between Cambridge and Peterborough being the source of most of his emergency casualties. He continued to volunteer for several years before work pressures made it impossible to predict his availability at short notice and he had to step back from regular service.
Bill was elected president of the eastern counties branch of the British Dental Association in 1982, a position he was very proud to hold.
Nearing retirement, he undertook a master’s degree in medical law at the University of Hertfordshire; he graduated in 2001 with much pride, somewhat raising the average age of the graduation ceremony. He spent his 20-year retirement in the Rutland county hamlet of Brooke.
Bill died on 2 November 2023 aged 87. He will be sadly missed by his widow Margaret (née Sellin), sons Henry and Edward and his four grandchildren. His relaxed and friendly manner, his communication skills, wide experience and expertise will be greatly missed, especially by his head and neck cancer patients, with whom he developed a special relationship.<br/>Resource Identifier RCS: E010577<br/>Collection Plarr's Lives of the Fellows<br/>Format Obituary<br/>Format Asset<br/>First Title value, for Searching Wardle, Martin Lawrence (1950 - 2017)ent://SD_ASSET/0/SD_ASSET:3868242024-05-13T01:22:56Z2024-05-13T01:22:56Zby J Langford<br/>Publication Date 2023-07-05<br/>Asset Path Root/Lives of the Fellows/E010000-E010999/E010200-E010299<br/>Occupation Dental surgeon Oral and maxillofacial surgeon<br/>Details Martin died on 4 October 2017 following a year-long fight against cancer.

After graduation in December 1973 he set about establishing a very successful dental career, starting with an oral surgery house job at Birmingham General Hospital, then moving on to The Royal Hospital Portsmouth, where he met his future wife, Barbara. They married on 1 May 1976, celebrating their ruby wedding anniversary last year.
In 1975 he joined his father in practice in Ashford, Middlesex, and achieved his dental fellowship in 1979. Later, his brother Tim also joined the practice. After Lawrence’s retirement the brothers ran the practice together until it was sold in 2010.
Martin combined his dental practice with an appointment in oral and maxillofacial surgery at the Royal Surrey in Guildford from 1979. He took the lead in the prosthetic rehabilitation of head and neck cancer patients, being an early adopter of dental implants. He was co-founder of an implant practice at Guildford.
He ran study days at the postgraduate medical centre. He was active in the Surrey Local Dental Committee and the Middlesex and Hertfordshire Branch of the BDA, of which he became President. He was instrumental in revitalising the Hounslow and Twickenham Section to include an annual study day, in future to be named the ‘Martin Wardle Team Day’. He was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the BDA in 2015. In March of this year he and Barbara were able to attend the branch meeting in Krakow and were given a very warm and generous tribute by their old friends in the profession. Travel was an important part of their lives.
Martin also pursued many other interests. He was in Round Table for 13 years, and his house bore testament to his enthusiasm for very professional DIY. He was keenly interested in cars. He loved watching cricket, swimming, skiing, and scuba diving. He had achieved divemaster status and obtained his Yacht Master Theory qualification. He also found time and passion for Egypt and its history.
He was an outstanding professional colleague, wonderful with patients, a generous and steadfast friend, and a very loving husband, father and grandparent. It is ironic that someone who dedicated many hours in reconstructing the faces and improving the oral health and lives of cancer patients should so cruelly be taken by the same disease at a young age.
He is survived by his father Lawrence, his four siblings, his wife Barbara and their children Claire and David, and grandchildren Lily, Sam and George.<br/>Resource Identifier RCS: E010297<br/>Collection Plarr's Lives of the Fellows<br/>Format Obituary<br/>Format Asset<br/>First Title value, for Searching Fickling, Benjamin William (1909 - 2007)ent://SD_ASSET/0/SD_ASSET:3727702024-05-13T01:22:56Z2024-05-13T01:22:56Zby Brian Morgan<br/>Publication Date 2009-02-10<br/>JPEG Image<br/>Asset Path Root/Lives of the Fellows/E000000-E000999/E000500-E000599<br/>URL for Files <a href="https://livesonline.rcseng.ac.uk/client/en_GB/search/asset/372770">https://livesonline.rcseng.ac.uk/client/en_GB/search/asset/372770</a>372770<br/>Occupation Oral and maxillofacial surgeon<br/>Details Benjamin William Fickling was a distinguished oral surgeon and a past president of the British Association of Oral Surgeons. The son of Robert Marshall Fickling, a dentist, he was born in London on 14 July 1909, in a house in Sloane Street where there had been a dental practice since 1840. His mother was Florence Isobel née Newson. By agreement with the deans of St George’s and the Royal Dental Hospital, he studied both medicine and dentistry at St George’s Hospital, having won the William Brown senior exhibition by examination at St George’s and a senior entrance scholarship to the clinical teaching hospital. These paid all his fees until he qualified. He also received the Johnson prize in anatomy, the Pollock prize in physiology and passed the primary FRCS after three months leave of absence from dentistry – all before his 21st Birthday and under three years after entering medical school.
In March 1932 he qualified LDS RCS and subsequently became house surgeon in the prosthetics department whilst starting dental practice using the second surgery in the family home. He said that he spent most time providing cheap dentures at £2 each. In 1934 he qualified MRCS LRCP and was appointed senior house surgeon at the Royal Dental Hospital, which had beds in Charing Cross Hospital. At the age of 36 he was appointed assistant dental surgeon at the Royal Dental Hospital and a year later assistant dental surgeon to St George’s Hospital. It was at this time that on the advice of Wilfred Fish he visited the established figures of the day in Vienna. He studied in the private surgery of Gottleib Bohler and the highly acclaimed Hans Pichler, who had treated Sigmund Freud’s oral cancer with a wide local excision that included the floor of the mouth and a large portion of the right mandible, all under local anaesthetic. He subsequently made an obturator, which Freud called his ‘monster’.
In November 1938, Fickling returned to London and passed his final FRCS. The road to promotion and a successful career lay through research and so in 1938 he attended the Hampton Hill research laboratories to study salivary secretion, where he was the first to show that bacteriostatic drugs could be excreted in saliva and was rewarded with a publication in *The Lancet*. At that time discharging sinuses on the face persisted for years and osteomyelitis was not uncommon. In 1933 Wilfred Fish established the first periodontal department at the Royal Dental Hospital, but later (1937) he resigned to concentrate on his research at St Mary’s Hospital. Fickling was placed in charge of the department and continued this until well after the war.
At the outbreak of war, he was drafted into the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) at St George’s Hospital and served there throughout the Blitz. An Army Council report in 1934 had recommended that in the event of war maxillo-facial injuries should be concentrated in specialist hospitals, and Fickling joined the plastic surgeon Rainsford Mowlem at Hill End Hospital in St Albans 1941. In 1939 there was no up to date English language text on facial injuries and so, with his senior colleague Warwick James, he wrote *Injuries of the jaws and face* (J Bale & Staples, London, 1940).
After the war, Fickling returned to dental practice in London and remained part-time at Hill End hospital, which later moved to Mount Vernon, where he was joined by Paul Toller. Fickling was present at the introduction of the NHS and continued in part-time general dental practice.
In 1957 he joined the board of the Faculty of Dental Surgery (FDS) of our College and was elected dean in 1968. He was a founder member of both the British Association of Oral Surgeons (president in 1967) and the International Association of Oral Surgeons in 1962. He was an examiner for the FDS (from 1959 to 1972) and in 1978 was appointed chairman of examiners for the Membership in General Dental Surgery (MGDS) and continued until 1981. In 1980 he retired from general dental practice after 58 years, handing over to his son Clive.
His contributions to surgery were recognised by the award of the Charles Tomes lecture in 1956; the first Everett Magnus lecture in Melbourne in 1971 and the Webb Johnson lecture in 1978. He was awarded the Colyer gold medal of the Faculty of Dental Surgery in 1979 and his services to dentistry were recognised by the award of the CBE in 1973.
He was a meticulous surgeon, devoted to detail. His Fickling forceps are still in standard use in most oral surgery sets today. He described a procedure for closing oroantral fistula and was instrumental in the development of the box frame and maxillary and mandibular rods and pins.
He enjoyed travelling and skied until he was 75. In the third year of the war he offered a nurse from Bartholomew’s Hospital a lift home from a bus stop. They married soon after and Shirley (née Walker) was his companion for nearly seven decades and bore him three children (Julia Margaret, Paul Marshall and Clive Anthony).

Born to Australian parents in India on 10 December 1946, he came from a family with a long tradition of horse racing, hence a diverse education that took him to England, India, Hong Kong and Australia for his schooling. His grandfather, William Evans, won the Melbourne Cup on Apologue in 1907 after losing 20 pounds to make the starting weight. The jockey fainted during the race, yet he still managed to finish on the 3/1 favourite; a sign of the fortitude and determination, perhaps, of his yet-to-be born grandson.
Barrie graduated from Sydney University in 1971, passing his bachelor of dental surgery degree with honours after being ranked top of his year. After testing the water in dental practice in his native Australia, Barrie came to realise that his thirst for knowledge was, as yet, unquenched, and sought out opportunities abroad. He managed to secure a post in the oral surgery department in Cardiff in 1974, where his love for surgery first became manifest. During this period, a medical degree to pursue a career in the burgeoning specialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery became a necessity, and, after greatly impressing his consultants as a diligent house surgeon, Barrie secured a place at Cardiff University to study medicine, graduating in 1981.
Barrie completed his surgical training in Cardiff, St George's, the Royal Dental, Odstock and Southampton hospitals, and also spent time abroad to hone his surgical skills in Switzerland and Sri Lanka.
Barrie was appointed as a consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Southampton in 1988 and quickly established himself as a visionary and trailblazer by transforming a local oral surgery department into a nationally and internationally recognised centre of excellence in the evolving areas of craniofacial and skull base surgery. Barrie's love of anatomy, particularly relating to the skull base and orbit, was the harbinger of the close relationship he developed with neurosurgical colleagues in Southampton. This began with John Garfield when Barrie was a senior registrar, and this revolutionary cross-specialty co-operation continued apace following his concurrent consultant appointment with Glenn Neil-Dwyer.
Barrie was a founder member of the British Association of Skull Base Surgery in 1992. He went on to publish many thought-provoking and challenging papers that contributed to the rapid advance of his chosen sub-specialty, and his work with fellow oral and maxillofacial surgeons and neurosurgical colleagues in the contemporary management of craniofacial trauma led to a re-evaluation of how craniofacial injuries were managed throughout the United Kingdom. Even at the time of his death, Barrie was still devoting many long hours to a collaborative, prospective study he was leading into frontobasal fractures of the craniofacial skeleton.
Barrie developed an exceptional ability as an ablative cancer surgeon based on his peerless anatomical knowledge and experience, and, with colleagues, went on to establish a respected head and neck cancer service, a forerunner to the busy practice that is currently evident in Southampton today.
Barrie was not only a gifted surgeon, but he was also an entertaining and informative speaker and teacher, who was always in demand. He presented many papers and delivered 140 invited keynote and eponymous lectures at national and international meetings based on his reputation for the diagnosis and management of craniofacial injuries. He published over 40 papers, the majority of which were as the first-named author, in peer-reviewed journals, and wrote 14 book chapters. In addition to being an innovator and an inspirational leader, Barrie excelled as a surgical trainer and teacher, always having time for trainees, no matter their station, spending many hours teaching and tutoring them in the preparation for presentations and examinations.
Barrie was awarded the president's prize at the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons annual scientific conference in 2000 for his paper, 'Post traumatic orbital reconstruction - the concept of the "deep orbit"'. He was awarded the Down's surgical prize in 2006, an accolade awarded annually to a surgeon who has made a major contribution to the specialty throughout his career.
Barrie was appointed as a civilian consultant adviser in oral and maxillofacial surgery to the Royal Navy and served in this post until the time of his retirement from the National Health Service in 2012, a remarkable achievement for an Australian who only became a British citizen in 2014!
Barrie held many administrative posts of note, including lead clinician for cancer services for Southampton from 1996 to 1998, but his most pleasurable achievement was the year he spent as president of the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons in 2009.
Barrie would undoubtedly acknowledge the fierce and loyal support that his wife, Christine, always afforded him. Outside of work, he loved pacing the common in Southampton with his dogs, keeping himself fit by running and swimming. He read widely and had an encyclopaedic knowledge of history and horse racing.
Who will ever forget his smiling face; the multi-coloured bow ties - hand tied, of course; his beloved small, round glasses; his empty pockets when queuing at Costa; an abysmal sense of direction; an uncanny talent to lose keys and telephone with repetitive ease; a unique taste in music and, of course, a memorable lack of political correctness?
Barrie was still working when he died on 3 July 2015 and retained a great zest for his family and work. He was 68. He leaves behind Christine, whom he married in 1986, two step-children, Alex and Leighton, and five step-grandchildren, Rhys, Gabriel, Roxanne, Darcey and Cayenne.<br/>Resource Identifier RCS: E008039<br/>Collection Plarr's Lives of the Fellows<br/>Format Obituary<br/>Format Asset<br/>First Title value, for Searching Alty, Henry Myers (1929 - 2019)ent://SD_ASSET/0/SD_ASSET:3867942024-05-13T01:22:56Z2024-05-13T01:22:56Zby John Cawood

‘Harry’ or to be precise ‘HMA’, as he was known to his many colleagues, was modest and above all unflappable, which are the traits that spring to mind when remembering this caring gentleman. However, such a description belies a man of immense ability, secure within himself and always in control. He resolved many a conflict with tact and diplomacy, keeping all sides satisfied.
Harry Alty was born in Newburgh, Lancashire on the 8 October 1929, the eldest of three brothers. He was educated at Hutton Grammar School and then followed his father into the dental profession and obtained the BDS from the University of Liverpool in 1952. Following graduation, he commenced his oral surgery training at St Bartholomew’s and the Eastman Dental Hospital. He obtained the FDSRCS (Eng) in 1954 and the MBChB (University of Liverpool) in 1958. In 1963, he was appointed Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, Regional Maxillofacial Unit, Broadgreen Hospital; Liverpool Dental Hospital; Chester Royal Infirmary; and Nobles Hospital, Isle of Man. Posts which he held until 1994.
It is a mark of the esteem in which HMA was held by professional colleagues that he was elected to significant national and local appointments. President BAOMS, Chairman Central Committee for Hospital Dental Services, Chairman Dental Subcommittee of the Central Manpower Committee DHSS, Joint Consultants’ Committee BMA, Consultant Adviser on medico-legal aspects of dental and maxillofacial surgery, President Oral Surgery Club of Great Britain, President of Liverpool and District Odontological Society.
His cool head, easy manner and surgical prowess endeared him to students and trainees alike. Many owe HMA a huge debt of gratitude for his wise counsel and training opportunities.
After retirement, Harry played an active public role in institutions and causes which were important to him. He was Chairman of the Governors of Bishop Martin School, Liverpool; Chairman of Council, Liverpool College; and Chairman of the Mersey branch of the Red Cross.
His faith underpinned all that he was, in a quiet undemonstrative way. He played an active role in the church right up to the end, as a member of his Bible study group as well as a faithful worshipper.
His beloved wife, Heather, whom he married in 1952, predeceased him. His son and daughter, John and Fiona, and his grandchildren, Henry, David, Richard and Helena, survive him. Harry was kind, generous and patient. Above all, he had a sense of duty and responsibility and he will always be remembered as a true gentleman.

He was born on 18 December 1925 in London, in the borough of Hackney, the only child of Percy Robert Seward (a master baker) and Ruth Marie Seward née Mackenzie.
After the local primary school, in 1934 Gordon entered the preparatory class of Hackney Downs School, founded in 1876 by the Worshipful Company of Grocers for 500 sons of middle class gentlemen. In 1906 it became a London County Council grammar school, endowing pupils with many qualities offered by public schools. On 2 September 1939, 401 boys, including Gordon, were evacuated to Norfolk, sharing a King’s Lynn school. He was very bright, fascinated with flora and fauna and was a corporal in the Cadet Force.
His science master arranged for him to spend time in the Natural History Museum’s zoology and then mammalian osteology departments. They wrote: ‘Don’t become such a keen dentist that you forget to be a zoologist.
In 1944 he passed the Higher School Certificate in science and mathematics and entered the London Hospital’s dental school with nine others. Only one person had previously gained the BDS (rather than the LDS), but he and others intended to do so. With no set course, they interviewed departmental heads, and organised lectures and a mostly ‘arrange it yourself’ course. Gordon won the class prize in dental surgery and pathology, the old students prize and one for radiology, which became a lifelong interest. There were also certificates in prosthetics, orthodontics and operative dental surgery. He qualified BDS (with distinctions in surgery and dental surgery) and LDS in 1948 and undertook non-resident and resident posts.
1949 saw National Service in the Royal Army Dental Corps. After treating patients in a sanatorium, he joined a hospital ship. In addition to dentistry, he aided a general surgeon during operations. With an early eye for accurately observing and recording all he did and saw, he kept a diary: the ship sailed from Southampton to the Bay of Biscay, encountered a gale and swung round and around, sailed to Gibraltar, then saw dolphins and so on. They embarked troops wounded in Malaya in the guerrilla war against British rule.
Gordon returned to the London Hospital, attended Royal College of Surgeons’ evening lectures and passed the fellowship exams in 1952. Research gained him the University of London’s first master of dental surgery degree in 1953.
He then studied medicine at the London whilst working as a general dental practitioner in the evenings and weekends, gaining the MB BS (with distinctions in surgery and obstetrics and gynaecology) in 1957. He undertook increasingly complex medical and surgical posts, mostly at the London. In 1956 he was a locum consultant dental surgeon at the North Middlesex Hospital. By 1958 he was a senior dental registrar.
Then came academic appointments: in 1953 he became a demonstrator in dental radiology; in 1959, the first full-time lecturer in oral surgery; and in 1960 a senior lecturer. He also acquired knowledge and experience in other departments and elsewhere.
Whilst their children were young, his wife Margaret (née Mitchell) held the fort while he travelled (he later reciprocated during her rise to damehood). In 1959 he spent six weeks with Norman Rowe at Queen Mary’s Hospital, Sidcup; in 1960, six at Mount Vernon; in 1967, four with Hugo Obwegeser in Zürich; and six in the USA with Fred Henry at the Henry Ford Hospital and Dental School, Detroit and Ann Arbor Dental School, plus Montreal and Toronto; 1974 saw experience of plastic surgery with J S P Wilson at the Westminster Hospital.
In 1962 London University appointed him as a reader, six years later to a personal chair, and, in 1990, as professor of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Gordon became the first full-time departmental head and attracted outstanding people around him, including David Alexander McGowan, Hugh Cannell and Anne Aiken. Meanwhile, he was a consultant adviser to the Government’s Chief Medical and Dental Officers. His colleagues elected him as dean in 1975.
Gordon was elected to the board of the Faculty of Dental Surgery in 1977 and was re-elected in 1985. He chaired its inter-faculty working party on implementing the Wylie Report on training in dental anaesthesia, and the examinations and hospital recognition and examination committees. He was the faculty’s representative on the library and publications and building and accommodation committees. Gordon was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England’s council (from 1983 to 1984 and 1986 to 1990). He became dean in 1986. A highlight was his awarding an honorary FDS to Princess Diana. He said: ‘Your charming smile, friendly manner and deep interest in children and the disadvantaged impressed us as representative of the ideal image of the dental practitioner.’ The Princess replied: ‘I was taught the importance of good dental health care as a very small child. Now that I have children of my own I am, of course, passing on that message.’
In 1984 the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh instituted an FRCS in maxillofacial surgery for medically/dentally qualified candidates: Gordon was an examiner. In 1986 he was awarded the FRCS Edinburgh; the FRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons of England followed a year later.
Gordon received many prizes and awards: in 1986, an NHS A+ distinction award, one of only two for oral surgeons in England; 1979, the Silver Medal of the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and their Down’s Surgical Prize; in 1987, an honorary associate life membership of Society of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgeons of South Africa; and in 1988 an honorary fellowship of Faculty of Anaesthetists of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, the first dentist to be so honoured. From 1987 to 1988 Gordon was president of the odontological section of the Royal Society of Medicine.
In 1990 he received a CBE for his immense contributions to medicine and surgery and the British Society of Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology made him an honorary member. In 1991 he was awarded the Colyer Gold Medal by the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the John Tomes Medal of the British Dental Association, and in 1996 the Geoffrey Slack Medal of the London Medical College and the Jordan University Medal. The Faculty of General Dental Practitice elected him to the fellowship in 2002.
Gordon co-authored a textbook on oral surgery (*An outline of oral surgery* Bristol, John Wright & Sons, 1971) and wrote many papers for specialists and general medical and dental practitioners.
He was a quiet, gentle, family man and an excellent dinner companion, full of interesting discussion. Using his manual skills he constructed a dream kitchen, made broken toys better (a toy horse had a splinted broken leg), re-soled shoes, re-bound books and iced Christmas cakes. His daughter’s earliest memory is of Gordon showing her how to sketch a horse. He enjoyed classical music and musical shows, grew orchids in his flat and was an enthusiastic member of the Bournemouth Natural Science Society.

Colin was born in Edinburgh on 26 January 1920, one of twin boys. He attended George Watson’s Boys College and later entered the Dental School where he was an enthusiastic student. He graduated LDS and commenced practice in Blairgowrie.
Colin joined the Royal Air Force and was posted to Burma and Hong Kong where, apart from his routine service duties, he temporarily acted as an RAF police officer, which gave him some thrilling and revealing experiences. He loved the service life.
On returning to Britain he was encouraged by Professor Bradlaw to sit his BDS at Newcastle and then his FDS. With this in mind, he returned to the teaching staff at Edinburgh where he worked with Ronald Thexton. Ronald became a lifelong friend who later encouraged Colin to apply for the Senior Registrar post at Oxford where he worked for Desmond Hayton-Williams from 1952 to 1957.
It was here that he met, and in 1953 married, Marion who was an Anaesthetic Senior Registrar. During this time he became closely associated with Dr Rosemary Biggs and Dr Macfarlane who were researching the use of animal globulins for the treatment of hemophiliacs bleeding after tooth extraction. He later produced three papers on the results of this work.
In 1957 Colin was appointed Consultant at Odstock Hospital, Salisbury, where he joined Eric Dalling at the Plastic and Oral Surgery Unit. Many of his junior staff enjoyed the hospitality in his home overlooking the water meadows and the spire of Salisbury cathedral and it was here that his three children grew up.
Colin was proud to have been one of the foundation Fellows of the British Association of Oral Surgeons and for a while served as a member of its council. He was also an examiner for the City and Guilds in the subject of maxillofacial surgery for specialist dental technicians.
Odstock, whilst being an ideal centre for the Plastic and Burns patients of those days, was not ideal for providing a comprehensive oral surgery service to the large population spread along the coast from Portsmouth to Weymouth. In 1961, Eric Dalling moved to a new unit in Portsmouth and in 1964 Southampton gained its own unit. Finally, when the new hospital at Poole was opened, Colin was appointed in 1969 and moved into the purpose-built unit he had planned. These new centres swiftly gained second consultants as the demand for services increased.
Colin was gifted with a cultured and incisive mind. He was tenacious in his activities and always charming and gracious to his patients. In his personal life Colin was a devoted family man and when he retired in 1985, he and Marion were able to travel to visit old friends. He could also indulge himself with his hobbies of wordwork, in a superb workshop he assembled in his garage, and fly-fishing.
Colin is survived by Marion, his children Graham, Gavin and Sheila, all of whom he was fiercely proud, and he is greatly missed by his grandchildren. To them, his friends and colleagues extend their deepest sympathy.<br/>Resource Identifier RCS: E010406<br/>Collection Plarr's Lives of the Fellows<br/>Format Obituary<br/>Format Asset<br/>First Title value, for Searching Riden, Donald Keith (1959 - 2005)ent://SD_ASSET/0/SD_ASSET:3723362024-05-13T01:22:56Z2024-05-13T01:22:56Zby Royal College of Surgeons of England<br/>Publication Date 2005-11-02 2006-12-21<br/>Unknown<br/>Asset Path Root/Lives of the Fellows/E000000-E000999/E000100-E000199<br/>URL for Files <a href="https://livesonline.rcseng.ac.uk/client/en_GB/search/asset/372336">https://livesonline.rcseng.ac.uk/client/en_GB/search/asset/372336</a>372336<br/>Occupation Oral and maxillofacial surgeon<br/>Details Surgeon Commander Donald Keith Riden RN was born in Liverpool on 5 May 1959, the son of Alfred Donald and Mavis Irene Riden. He attended West Derby Comprehensive School in Liverpool from 1970 to 1977, and then went on to study dentistry at King’s College Dental School, winning the Wellcome award in pharmacology and therapeutics in 1980 and the annual oral surgery prize in 1981. With an increasing interest in oral and maxillofacial surgery, which had developed from his early days at dental school, he entered Southampton University Medical School in 1984, qualifying in 1988.
Serving in the Royal Navy, he undertook his house surgeon appointments in urology, orthopaedics, general surgery and accident and emergency at the Royal Naval Hospital, Haslar. He had short appointments in endocrinology at Southampton General Hospital and in general surgery at the Royal Naval Hospital, Plymouth. After an ENT job at RNH Haslar, he returned to RNH Plymouth to start his oral and maxillofacial training, becoming a registrar in October 1993 and gaining his FDS in 1994. Subsequently he entered the south west specialist registrar rotation in Plymouth, Frenchay, Southmead and Bristol Royal Infirmary from 1994 to 1999. As is customary with RN medical officers, he saw service overseas and at sea, serving in Gibraltar, on HMS *Tamar* (Hong Kong), HMS *Ariadne*, HMS *Minerva*, HMS *Nelson* and HMS *Illustrious*. He was on active service in Kosovo from 2000 to 2001. He loved to travel, particularly in the Far East and was able to serve in Hong Kong, China and India as a visiting registrar.

He was born on 6 June 1942 in Timperley, Cheshire, the son of Leslie and Betty Lowry. From Altrincham Grammar School, Cheshire, he went to the University of Manchester Turner Dental School and qualified BDS in 1963. He was a house surgeon and then a senior house officer at the Turner Dental School, before becoming a senior house officer in oral surgery at the Manchester Royal Infirmary in 1965 and then a registrar at the regional plastic and maxillofacial unit, Bradford and Wakefield Hospitals.
In 1966 he entered Manchester Medical School and qualified MB ChB in 1970.

He then did four years as a senior registrar in oral and maxillofacial surgery in the Manchester Area Health Authority, rotating through all the major hospitals in Manchester, winning a Leverhulme travelling fellowship in Europe which enabled him to work with Wunderer in Vienna, Hugo Obwegeser in Zurich and Paul Tessier in Paris. Throughout these years, John worked as an associate in general dental practice.
In 1976, he was appointed as a consultant in oral and maxillofacial surgery to the Royal Bolton Hospital and from there he launched a remarkable career. He received many honorary degrees and qualifications, including honorary fellowships in dental surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, from the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, the Royal College of Surgeons of England, the Faculty of General Dental Practice and the Royal College of Anaesthetists – a rare accolade for a surgeon. Posthumously he was made an honorary fellow of Manchester Medical Society, having been its past president and treasurer.
He was president of the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons in 2000 and dean of the Faculty of Dental Surgery of the Royal College of Surgeons of England from 2001 to 2004.

The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) has established a memorial lecture known as the ‘Lowry lecture’ in his honour and his family attended the inaugural lecture at the BAAPS European Conference in Cardiff in September 2009.
John published many articles and chapters in textbooks and edited many books and articles himself. He was a pioneer in telemedicine and produced many video and audio presentations.

In 2004 he was appointed as a visiting professor to the University of Central Lancashire and undertook many activities on its behalf. He was an honorary civilian consultant in postgraduate dental education to the Army in 2003.
Throughout all his years as a consultant he remained an active clinician in all branches of oral and maxillofacial surgery.
John was the most polite, unassuming and cheerful individual one could wish to meet. In his private life, John had many interests, including rallying and traditional jazz. In 1968 he married Valerie Joyce Smethurst. Their daughter, Michelle, is a dentist and their son, Johnny, is a TV film producer in Australia. John Lowry died on 29 September 2008.
