THE PETER TIZARD LECTURE
Professor
Sir Peter Tizard, was a founder member of the Neonatal Society in
1959, and Professor of Paediatrics at the Hammersmith Hospital (1964-1972) and
Oxford University (1972-1983).
He was widely regarded as a teacher, leader and source of inspiration to those involved in scientific investigation and the clinical care of newborn babies. After his death in 1993, a Fund was established to be used in recognition and celebration of his life.
Contributions have been received from many members of the Neonatal Society, former students and friends at Jesus College, Oxford and the Society of Apothecaries. The proceeds are used either as a research grant or to support an annual lecture.
In 1997 the Neonatal Society agreed that an Annual Lecture should be given at the Summer Meeting - The Peter Tizard Lecture.
