Duthie report author dies

Robert Duthie, Emeritus Nuffield Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Oxford, and known for his contribution to the “Duthie report”, died on 25 December 2005, at the age of 80 years.

Professor Duthie was chairman of the joint sub-committee of the standing medical, nursing and midwifery and pharmaceutical advisory committees that produced the report, officially entitled “Guidelines for the safe and secure handling of medicines”, in 1988. The report was revised last year (PJ, 5 March 2005, p264).
