Glasgow Royal InfirmaryGlasgow Royal Infirmary (GRI) (top) opened in 1794. Since then, GRI has impacted medical and nursing practice, worldwide.

Here in 1865, Joseph Lister made his revolutionary antisepsis discoveries. John MacIntyre, a medical electrician, established the world’s first radiograph department at GRI in 1887 (bottom left). Prior to the advent of imaging, in 1879, William Macewen performed the first successful intracranial surgery removing a frontal meningioma identified by pre-operative focal epileptic signs (bottom right). With Macewen’s support, in 1880, Rebecca Strong (bottom right) set up one of the first training schools for nurses, and Strong’s methods were widely adopted by the nursing profession. Dr Alice Marshall tirelessly catalogued and remount-ed pathological specimens of historical importance including those of Macewen. Marshall contributed to papers on pathologies of the heart including the association between glycosuria and coronary artery disease and the silent nature of cardiac events in these patients. In the 1920s, Sir David Cuthbertson ran the first biochemistry laboratory, studying the effects of injury on metabolism. He developed improved treatment of burns that were employed during World War II. In 1995, the Medical Cardiology Department at GRI, along with biochemists James Shepherd and Christopher Packard, initiated WOSCOPS (The West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study), a landmark study showing the benefit of statins in primary prevention of coronary artery disease.
