This statue was unveiled by Professor Sir Kenneth Calman K.C.B F.R.S.E former chief medical officer on 21st April 1999. It sits on a roundabout outside the main entrance of the hospital which is between the two main wings facing Upper Parliament Street. It was funded by the Ethel Austin empire. It is larger than you might think but is presently embarrassed by ill-kept planting which partly obscures and partly detracts from the piece.
