Professor Sir Donald Campbell, CBE, was a pioneer in many aspects of anaesthesia, particularly the introduction of Intensive Care Units. Following training at the Royal Infirmary and Stobhill Hospital he became a Fellow of the Faculty of Anaesthetists of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and was appointed Lecturer in the University Department of Anaesthetics at Glasgow Royal Infirmary in 1960. The next year he transferred to the Health Service Department as a Consultant, a post he held for 15 years. The Respiratory Intensive Care Unit was opened in 1966. Professor Campbell was its first Director and the unit is a lasting memorial to his foresight and drive. He pursued his research interests in areas involving the development of more sophisticated ventilators, the pharmacology of new analgesic drugs and the effects of smoke inhalation on the lungs.
Campbell believed strongly that Health Service Departments and University Departments should work closely together and in 1976 when the Chair of Anaesthesia in Glasgow became vacant he was appointed to it and held this post until he retired in 1992. From here he was able to develop his interest in medical education and wield his influence and apply his wisdom over a wider field.
After periods as an examiner and board member of the Faculty of Anaesthetists (forerunner of the Royal College of Anaesthetists) he was elected Dean of the Faculty for three years from 1982. Immediately following this he was elected Vice-President of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, a particular honour for an anaesthetist.
In recognition of the major contributions which Professor Campbell made to so many branches of medicine he was awarded the CBE in 1987 and received his Knighthood in 1994.
