The 1960's
by Professor Whitehouse
In 1960, 12 students were accepted onto the course and 12 DMRDs were awarded.
In 1962 12 were enrolled. The annual report observed that Liverpool would like to accept more students to help fill the national shortage, but hospital appointments were not available for more than that number of trainees.
Dr R W Galloway reclassified the film collection and updated it.
More space was needed in the Department.
In 1963, because of increased teaching commitments, Drs JHE Carmichael, E Walker and J Winter were appointed as clinical teachers.
In 1964, £350,000 was available for the establishment of the Nuffield Unit of Medical Genetics in the Department of Medicine.
The Faculty of Radiology annual meeting was held in Liverpool.
In 1965 there had been a considerable falling off in the number of British applicants for the Radiology course.This followed the pattern throughout the country, but Liverpool had been more successful than most schools in recruiting enough students to fill the major hospital appointments.
In May 1967 the Department of Radiodiagnosis transferred from the Bacteriology wing of the new Medical School into its own accommodation in the wing of the Nuffield Unit of Medical genetics. This anticipated a projected new move into the new hospital in 1973.
Drs Couch and Galloway were appointed lecturers.
In 1967-68 Dr Whittaker retired as Director of Studies in Radiodiagnosis. In October 1968 Dr Scarrow was appointed in his place. Dr Scarrow presented a paper on transluminal dilatation of the femoral artery at the Liverpool Medical Institution.
In 1968-69 Dr EL Rubin retired, having been lecturer since 1937. Dr G Ansell was appointed clinical lecturer, along with Dr J Occleshaw, a neuroradiologist, Mr Friel who now lectured in Physics on the Part 1 course., and Miss Brenda Heslop who taught Radiography.
In 1969-70, a film museum and viewing cubicles were established in the Department. Dr Scarrow conducted research with a gastric camera and on spinal stenosis.
Dr Hiram Baddeley was appointed the first Senior Lecturer.
