Sir Norman James Blacklock KCVO OBE FRCS (5 February 1928 – 7 September 2006) was a surgeon in the Royal Navy and later a consultant in urology and professor of medicine at Manchester University.
Evacuated from his home in the Second World War, he was educated McLaren High School in Callander, and read medicine at Glasgow University.
He returned to medicine in 1954, working as a surgical registrar and lecturer in surgery at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, and then at hospitals in Ipswich and London from 1956.
He stood in as Medical Officer to the Queen on a royal visit to Luxembourg in 1976, when the incumbent surgeon fell ill at the last minute, and he continued in that role until 1993.
He was based at the Withington Hospital in south Manchester, where he set up the first NHS lithotriptor unit, using ultrasound to break down kidney stones.
