Abstract

Tom was born on 14 November 1941 to Tom and Winnie (née Halstead) in Sunderland, England. His father was killed in July 1941 when his aeroplane was shot down over the North Sea. Winnie and Tom settled in Yeadon, West Yorkshire, and Tom was educated nearby, at Woodhouse Grove School. He obtained a First Class Honours Batchelor of Science degree in Physiology at the University of London in 1964 and a PhD in Pharmacology in 1967, which he passed after examination by the eminent pharmacologist Sir John Vane. He subsequently completed a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and was admitted to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons as a practising veterinary surgeon. He remained active as a vet and was for many years the vet responsible for the animal facility at St George's Hospital Medical School (now St George's University of London), which was where he dedicated most of his working life to teaching, research and university leadership.
