Geoffrey Chamberlain

Chamberlain in 2000 Geoffrey Victor Price Chamberlain (21 April 1930 – 30 October 2014) was professor and academic head of the department of obstetrics and gynaecology at St George's Hospital, London, editor-in-chief of the ''British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology'' and president of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG). At one time, he was president of the obstetrics and gynaecology section at the Royal Society of Medicine. He also authored numerous textbooks and journal articles on obstetrics.

Chamberlain took considerable interest in maternal mortality and frequently presented significant importance to the triennal ''Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Death Reports''. In his role with the National Birthday Trust, he directed four national surveys of British obstetrics.

He resigned from his academic, editorial and presidential posts following his acceptance of a 'gift authorship' on a fraudulent research paper written by a colleague. Subsequently, Chamberlain moved to Wales where he published an internationally acclaimed textbook, ''From Witchcraft to Wisdom'', whilst teaching history of medicine as an Apothecaries' lecturer.
