Neurological Unit, Northern General Hospital, 1956-1960

Neurological Unit, Northern General Hospital, dated 1956-1960. The material contains reports, correspondence and papers relating to the Neurological Unit, mainly exchanged with J .A. Simpson, the physician in charge of the Unit. It includes various memoranda, grant applications and notes of meetings which enabled plans for equipment staffing and research of the Unit to be followed. Many of the documents bear Dott's comments or his summaries of decisions taken at meetings or committees. In 1959, Dr. J.A. Simpson applied to the Wolfson Foundation for support for a Neurological Research Unit in Edinburgh (a copy of the application is in the folder) and on this occasion Dott wrote in support of the proposal to Sir Stanford Cade and Lord Evans.
