The GMC's List of Registered Medical Practitioners says that she gained her MB ChB in 1972 from the University of Manchester, and I should think that this is accurate. In the 1980s some of the "Manchester" medical students did their pre-clinical studies at St Andrew's University, Scotland. I do not know if there was a similar arrangement between the University of Edinburgh and the University of Manchester in the 1970s, when she qualified. I do not know if she was referring to studying medicine as a postgraduate in Edinburgh. Snowman (talk) 22:06, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The article School of Medicine, University of Manchester has this:- "The medical school expanded greatly in the 1950s, culminating in the opening of the Stopford Building in 1973, and additionally providing clinical studies for students who had completed their pre-clinical studies at St Andrews[when?].[citation needed] ... Some of the students who have completed their pre-clinical education at the University of St Andrews School of Medicine join students who have completed pre-clinical years in Manchester to do their clinical years together." The dating is not clear from this but probably means from 1973 or later until now.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 12:25, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That is interesting. In part of a video interview on the BBC she appears to say that she went from school in Birmingham to University in Manchester suggesting that she did she pre-clinical training in Manchester; see Professor Dame Sally Davies. I have not been able to find any other reference to her doing any studies in Edinburgh. Snowman (talk) 16:38, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The latest addition refers to two books published by Sally Davies, and I see the references include links to the books on both the publishers' sites and the Amazon site. Does Amazon really need to be plugged in this way, as it is easy enough for people to find the books on Amazon if they want to?--Brian Josephson (talk) 09:23, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In the Covid subsection of the Career and research section of this Wikipedia page, it is mentioned that "[c]ommentators were also critical of austerity and the state in which it had left the NHS and public health system. Furthermore, University College London epidemiology professor Sir Michael Marmot said that the UK had entered the pandemic with "depleted" public services, leaving it less able to cope." How is this relevant to Dame Davies? Is it appropriate for these statements to be included in Dame Davies' Wikipedia page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fang-runin (talk • contribs) 13:02, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Her opinions appear to be WP:DUE given the BBC reference and available references including the one linked from within the BBC ref.
