Such sad news. Dr George W Cherry With much sorrow I must inform you of the death of George Cherry. He died of gall bladder sepsis. His contribution to wound healing in Oxford was exceptional. He has been a wonderful colleague without whom the Department of Dermatology in Oxford would not have reached such heights. The Oxford International Wound Foundation and the Annual Wound Healing course for many years provided valued insights into the field of wound healing. George was responsible for Oxfords initiation and contribution to the development of significant wound dressings and to important Societies concerned with tissue repair and regeneration. Many of todays most prevalent Tissue Viability problems such as Pressure Ulcers and the Diabetic Foot ulcer are better managed as a consequence of his leadership. Georges contributions were not confined to USA and UK interventions. He has many admirers in China and Vietnam. Throughout his distinguished career he has had the support of his wife Christine to the benefit of all of us. They have led a team of nurses and tissue viability investigators of outstanding merit. Terence J Ryan Emeritus Professor of Dermatology, Oxford University and Oxford Brookes University
