'An innovator, teacher and gadget man, Dr Morrison demonstrated an amazing ability to turn his hand to anything'
Tributes are being paid to 'one of the founding fathers' of modern-day hospital intensive care after his death in retirement.
Dr Morrison, who trained at Manchester University, worked at Crumpsall Hospital from 1951 and was Clinical Director from 1969 to 1989. He developed intensive care services at the hospital and pushed to develop a national intensive care movement - he was at the first ever meeting of intensive care enthusiasts in the UK in 1970.
He was passionate about north Manchester as a place and was one of the founding fathers of modern intensive care. He first came to north Manchester in 1951 and he was one of the first doctors to use penicillin to treat pneumonia." She said: "I first became aware of Dr Morrison as a student nurse training in the School of Nursing at Crumpsall in the mid-1980s.
She said he was an early computer enthusiast and programmer who sang in a choir, had a passion for Russian ballet and loved to travel. His ideas, she said, 'extended way beyond the confines of north Manchester'.
