Alcohol abuse pioneer's work is honoured
Wed 25 Jul 2007 THE pioneer of a specialist service for people with alcohol problems at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital has been honoured for his work.
Dr Bruce Ritson, now retired, was present at a recent ceremony that saw the hospital unit in Morningside change its name to the Ritson Clinic.
The unit - Scotland's first- came about through Dr Ritson's philosophy that all people experiencing problems with alcohol had the right to access specialist professional services.
