Medsin's Patrons
Richard Horton
Richard Horton qualified in medicine from the University of Birmingham in 1986. He completed his general medical training in Birmingham before moving to the liver unit at the Royal Free Hospital.
In 1990, he joined the Lancet as an assistant editor and moved to New York as North American Editor in 1993. Two years later he returned to the UK to become Editor-in-Chief.
He was the first President of the World Association of Medical Editors, and is presently a member of the International Committee on Medical Journal Editors.
He is an honorary professor at the LSHTM, and a Founder Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences. His book about controversies in modern medicine, Second Opinion, was published in 2003.
Richard has spoken at numerous Medsin events including the Global Health Conference (GHC) 2006, the GHC 2007 and more recently the IFMSA August Meeting 2007 in Canterbury.
Professor John Yudkin
John qualified with a double first in biochemistry at Cambridge and UCL. After working at the London Hospital Medical College researching for his MD, he spent 3 and half years in Tanzania as a VSO volunteer before becoming a senior lecturer in the University of Dar es Salaam.
He was appointed Senior Lecturer/Consultant in General Medicine and Diabetes at University College London and the Whittington Hospital in 1980, and Professor of Medicine in 1992.
He is a Diabetologist by training but his interest in international health led him to set up IHMEC in 1999. John was formerly the IHMEC Director.
John's interests include health care delivery in diabetes, marathon running and contrary to what the photo on the left may suggest, he is not a Newcastle Supporter but in fact an avid follower of Arsenal FC!
John has been a great support to Medsin, speaking at events such as the Medsin National Conference 2005 in Leeds, and more recently he was a special guest at the Medsin 10th Birthday celebrations at the GHC 2007.
Professor Sir Andrew Haines
Professor Haines became Director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in January 2001, having previously been Professor of Primary Health Care and Director of the Department of Primary Care and Population Sciences, Royal Free and University College Medical School, and worked part-time as a general practitioner in North London.
He was formerly Director of Research & Development at the NHS Executive, North Thames, and has worked internationally in Nepal, Jamaica, Canada and the USA.
His research interests are in epidemiology and health services research, focusing particularly on research in primary care and the study of environmental influences on health, including the potential effects of global environmental change. He has recently chaired a Taskforce for WHO to develop an international collaborative agenda for health systems research.
