‘See one, do one, teach one’ was the basis of David Watkin’s
training as a surgeon in the 1960s. By the time he became a
consultant, he had ample experience but had received little
supervision. He was determined to improve the experience for his
juniors. Later, this led to chairmanship of the national committee
responsible for training in general surgery. Not from a medical
family and with no experience of serious illness or hospital, David
had only decided to study medicine when in the sixth form. After
training in Bristol, Leicester, Derby and Sheffield he was
appointed a consultant in Leicester. He was then invited to be
inaugural clinical sub-dean, in charge of setting up clinical
teaching in the new Medical School. Comprising ‘guts, glands and
arteries’, David relished the broad scope of general surgery,
including emergencies. But surgery and the NHS were changing, with
technological advances and surgical innovations. When general
surgery evolved into specialties, he became a coloproctologist by
day, though still a generalist at night. A member of the council of
the Association of Surgeons, he was closely involved in these
changes. Finally, he was elected president of the Association for
2000-1.
