Title A name given to the resource Visualising Medical Heritage Description An account of the resource From 2017 to 2019, the heritage team undertook a visualisation project funded by Museums Galleries Scotland known as "Visualising Medical Heritage". Through this project we created a variety of different digital heritage products, including animations, 3D digital models, and VR games. Visualising medical heritage is something we continue to do today. These visualisation products tell the stories of groundbreaking work carried out by Fellows and Members throughout history, and how their work changed the practice of medicine and surgery for the better.

Title A name given to the resource 3D Model of Cannon Shell Injury Description An account of the resource c. 1946 This unexploded cannon shell was extracted from the face of a patient by Professor Tom Gibson, a former president of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. The shell struck the soldier in the face, but caused little clinical disturbance. Tom Gibson was born in Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire, on 24 November 1915. He was educated at Paisley Grammar School and Glasgow University where he graduated MB, ChB in 1938. He worked in the Medical Research Council Burns Unit, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, 1942-4. While at the Burns Unit he made an outstanding contribution to the understanding of the mechanism of homograft rejection. He was joined in Glasgow by Peter Medawar who had been working in Oxford on the same problem and their joint work “The fate of skin homografts in man”, was published in the Journal of Anatomy in 1943. The article is quoted in Morton’s Medical Bibliography as the work which placed the laws of transplantation on a firm scientific basis. <iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://sketchfab.com/models/5646dab210764676a7c0257fb66ac24f/embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; vr" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe> <p style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 5px; color: #4a4a4a;"><a href="https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/large-missile-lodged-in-the-face-5646dab210764676a7c0257fb66ac24f?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Large Missile Lodged in the Face</a> by <a href="https://sketchfab.com/rcpsgheritage?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">RCPSG Heritage</a> on <a href="https://sketchfab.com?utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_campaign=share-popup" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold; color: #1caad9;">Sketchfab</a></p> Relation A related resource <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/45" target="_blank">Cannon Shell</a> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/1294" target="_blank">Portrait of Thomas Gibson</a></div> 3D Tom Gibson Visualization
