Professor Sir Roy Calne RIP 21:46 - Jan 8 with 539 views

Performed the first liver transplant to be carried out in Europe in 1968 at Addenbrookes.
Not just that, but introduced crucial anti-rejection treatments as well.

The word 'hero' is occasionally cheapened, but I think it's entirely appropriate here.
Having worked on the Addenbrookes transplant unit in the past, I've seen his life-changing legacy up close and was even lucky enough to meet him once and see him lecture.
A great man.
