Medical Director, Dr Jennifer Armstrong, in collaboration with The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, will once again present two prestigious awards for Medical staff.
The William Cullen Prize for excellence in teaching and a separate William Cullen prize for service innovation will recognise a clinician, or clinician and team, as having made a significant contribution to local teaching or service innovation in Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
The winners of each Prize will receive a framed print of a William Cullen letter which will be selected from the Royal College’s archive. The William Cullen Prizes will be presented at our Celebrating Success Event.
William Cullen
William Cullen (1710-1790) began his career as a medical lecturer and pioneer teacher of Chemistry at Glasgow University rising to international fame as the leading figure in Edinburgh University medical school and served as president of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. He was appointed the King’s Physician in Scotland and became the most influential medical lecturer of his generation. His private consultations survive as a remarkable archive of several thousand letters.
