Please join us to celebrate the release of the new book "Donald Simpson - Neurosurgeon and Humanitarian" and help raise funds to establish the new Donald Simpson Neuroscience Scholarship.

All proceeds from the event and book sales will fund the newly created Donald Simpson Neuroscience Scholarship, which will support a junior neuroscientist to advance their research skills.

Indulge in a delectable high tea of scrumptious savouries and luscious sweets in the beautiful surrounds of The Conservatory at Ayers House. Drinks package includes sparkling wine, beer, wine, soft drink & juice as well as a continuous selection of T Bar teas and freshly brewed coffee for the duration of the event.

Donald Simpson was a remarkable man and co-founder of the NeuroSurgical Research Foundation.

This biography, written by two former trainees, and later colleagues, tells the story of his family background and academic career in neurosurgery, from Adelaide to Oxford. It covers the many aspects of his life – from medical research and historical interests to working with disabled and sick children and his humanitarian activities. It also contains many contributions from people who knew him and many stories about him, some humorous, some surprising but always “Donaldesque”. The unique character of Donald Simpson, neurosurgeon and humanitarian, shines through.

If you cannot attend please consider making a direct donation to the Donald Simpson Neuroscience Scholarhip here, supporting young researchers towards their next breakthrough.
