Peter Hudgson
Consultant neurologist Newcastle upon Tyne 1975-2001 (b 1936; q Melbourne 1959; FRCP, FRACP), d 17 February 2005.Peter Hudgson came to work in the General Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, as a senior house officer in 1963, soon being promoted to a registrarship, and subsequently holding a research appointment for work on muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular diseases. A fine clinician and teacher and lucid presenter of scientific papers, he became a skilled electron microscopist and developed a major interest in skeletal muscle pathology. These interests continued after his appointment as a senior lecturer/consultant in the department of neurology of Newcastle University, and he presented papers derived from his research at many national and international neurological meetings. A keen sportsman, he enjoyed cricket, tennis, and golf, and, while eagerly supporting Australian teams when they played against England, he equally supported England when they played against other natural sporting enemies, such as the French, South Africans, and even the New Zealanders. He spent several years as a major in the Royal Army Medical Corps and medical specialist in the No 1 Northern General Hospital (T and AVR) and his vigorous and ebullient personality endeared him to his colleagues and patients alike. He died suddenly and unexpectedly after a few years of indifferent health. [John Walton]
