Professor Richard Smith | UofG Alumni Spotlight

Professor Richard Smith (MD 1982), is a Consultant Gynaecological Surgeon and Professor of Practise. In this spotlight, we speak to Richard in his family home on the Island of Bute. He studied medicine at Glasgow, returned to complete his MD in 1992, and returned again to complete his Higher Doctorate, so it's safe to say he is a firm believer in studying at Glasgow. We spoke about his somewhat unusual path into gynecology, and learn what it takes to perform the UK's first womb transplant. Richard reflects on his time spent at University, and the warmth and camaraderie that comes with it. A heartwarming episode through and through!
