Lifetime Achievement for Sir James Black OBE, OM, FRS, for his exceptional contribution to medicine

A Lifetime Achievement Award presented to Sir James Black OBE, OM, FRS, for his exceptional contribution to drug discovery, medicine and patient care, both as a physician and as a scientist.
A Scottish doctor, Sir James developed two major families of medicines that have transformed patient care in cardiology (beta blockers) and gastroenterology (anti-ulcer histamine receptor blockers). His invention of the beta blocker propranolol, revolutionised the medical management of heart disease and is considered to be one of the most important contributions to clinical medicine and pharmacology of the 20th century. His work on cimetidine, an H2 receptor antagonist, has transformed the treatment of stomach ulcers and other gastrointestinal conditions dramatically reducing the number of operations carried out in the UK.
Sir James was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1988 for these discoveries.
The Medical Futures Innovations Awards, run by a team of doctors, businessmen and media and communication experts, are part of a wider offering that includes educational and networking events between industry and the medical profession.
