The Department is saddened to share the news that former Senior Lecturer and Post Retirement Fellow, Doctor Neville Belton has died at the age of 82 years. Doctor Belton was a medical biochemist in the University of Edinburgh Department of Child Life and Health at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, since 1967. His research focussed on Vitamin D and mineral metabolism in pregnancy, infancy and childhood. He retired in 2000, but kept in regular contact, and retained a keen interest in the historical aspects of the Department and its staff.
