Professor Dorothy Ann Malcolm Geddes OBE FRCS (8 May 1936–14 March 1998) was the first woman to be appointed to a professorship of dentistry in the United Kingdom.

Life

Geddes was born in Alloa, Scotland on 8 May 1936. She attended Brechin High School, going on to study dentistry at the University of Edinburgh, graduating in 1959. She worked for most of her career at University of Glasgow where she was Dean of the Faculty of Dental Surgery. Geddes' specialism was oral surgery. She was the first woman to be awarded Fellowship in Dental Surgery (FRCS) of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 1963.[1][2][3] She was a distinguished teacher and researcher and gained a personal Chair. She was President of the Royal Odonto-Chirugical Society of Scotland, President of the West of Scotland Branch of the British Dental Association, and Convener of the Dental Council.

Professor Geddes was awarded an OBE, in 1995 and the European Organization for Caries Research Rolex Prize in 1998.

Legacy

The University of Glasgow established the Dorothy Geddes Multimedia Laboratory to promote the application of new, cutting edge technology to the teaching of oral biology.[4] The University also awards the Geddes Research Fellowship and medal.

She is remembered as a "modest, quiet woman with a wicked sense of humour, who is remembered with universal affection and more than a little awe".[5]
