Description

Bust-length in a grey suit wearing the President's badge of office.

Campbell graduated in medicine from the University of Glasgow in 1952 and travelled to Canada to start his training in anaesthesia. He returned to Glasgow in 1956 and gained more training in anaesthesia at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary and Stobhill Hospital. He became Lecturer in Anaesthesia at the University of Glasgow in 1960, eventually being appointed to Chair of Anaesthesia in 1976. He went on to become the Dean of the Medical School in Glasgow in 1987.

Campbell was the first anaesthetist to become President of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. He was awarded the C.B.E. in 1987 and he received his Knighthood in 1994.
