Anne Bryson Sutherland

Anne Bryson Sutherland (7 January 1922 - 27 March 2011) was a Scottish plastic surgeon specializing in the care of burn victims.

[1][4] On leaving school, she had wanted to study medicine, but due to the opposition of her father who thought it an unsuitable career for a woman, she instead attended the Edinburgh College of Domestic Science, and went on to train as a dietician.

[1] During her time as a junior hospital doctor, she became interested in plastic surgery,[5] in particular in the effect of nutrition on the recovery of burned patients.

[4] On her return to Edinburgh she gained her MD in 1958 with a thesis on: “Thermal Injury: its effect on nutrition, with special reference to bodyweight and food intake”.

[4] Following retirement, Sutherland was awarded long service badges as a volunteer in the National Trust for Scotland's properties at Gladstone’s Land and 28 Charlotte Square.
