Consultant becomes first woman to scoop top job
A female consultant has become the first woman to be given the job of Vice President of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.
The institution was established more than 400 years ago in 1599 and a woman has never been given the position, until now. Dr Alyson Wray, a consultant in paediatric dentistry at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children and Glasgow Dental Hospital, has been awarded the prestigious title.
Dr Wray said that the appointment was a “huge thing” for the organisation; she said that she has spent many years being the only woman in the room at conferences and meetings, but claimed that in recent years, thing have started to change and women are being given more opportunities.
