Alastair McDonald Memorial Fund

A new student prize fund has been established in memory of the cardiologist and teacher Dr Alastair McDonald , who died in July 2012.

Alastair was a leading figure in cardiology at The London from the 1970s onwards and chaired The London Hospital Medical Council from 1991 to 1994. Following his retirement in 1997, he continued to work in NHS management and was appointment Chairman of the North West London Hospitals NHS Trust in 1999. Alastair played an important role at the Medical College and was Sub-Dean for Clinical Medicine in the late 1980s. He was also a former Staff President of the Students' Association.

Many of Alastair's former students and colleagues may wish to remember him by contributing to the fund. The fund will support an annual essay prize on a broad topic of medical ethics which was of such interest to Alastair. The first prize winner is due to be announced in the 2013-14 academic year.

Contributions should be made payable to 'Barts and The London Hospital Medical Club Benevolent Fund'. You can download a gift form as below:
