Life

Cockburn's early education was at Leith Academy. In 1959 Cockburn graduated from the University of Edinburgh, with an MB ChB, later gaining a Doctor of Medicine with honours (cum laude) in 1966 with a thesis titled: Phenylalanine: its role in infant nutrition and disease.[4][2]

Cockburn married Alison Fisher Née Grieve on 15 January 1960 and has two sons, David Forrester and John Roger.

Career

Cockburn's junior house positions were held the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and the Simpson Memorial Maternity Pavilion. In 1961, Cockburn was promoted to paediatric registrar at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children and the Simpson Memorial Maternity Pavilion Edinburgh.[2] In 1963, Cockburn moved to Boston, on a Huntington-Hartford Research Foundation Fellowship in Pediatric Metabolic Disease, taking a position as a medical resident at the Boston City Hospital, and the University of Boston in Massachusetts, achieving the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates certification.[2] In 1965, Cockburn moved to Puerto Rico, being appointed as an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Puerto Rico to study Perinatal asphyxia.[2] This was followed, by a year spent as a Nuffield Senior Research Fellow in Neonatal and Foetal Physiology at the Nuffield Institute for Medical Research, University of Oxford.[2]

From 1966 to 1971, Cockburn returned to work at University of Edinburgh as a senior research fellow. In 1971, he was appointed to the position of Senior lecturer in the Department of Child Health at Edinburgh.[2] From 1977 Cockburn held the Samson Gemmell Chair of Child Health at the University of Glasgow. Cockburn was preceded by James Holmes Hutchison. Cockburn resigned the chair in 1996.[2]

From 1997 to 2001, Cockburn was chairman of the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow NHS Trust in Yorkhill, Glasgow.[2]

Queen Mother's Maternity Hospital closure

On 9 December 2003, in an interview with The Scotsman, in relation to the decision by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde board to move the Queen Mother's Maternity Hospital, with its maternity unit and the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital campus on the Southside of Glasgow, Professor Cockburn who vehemently opposed the move, stated:

manifest nonsense

to move the hospital and the only reason to close was to save money.[5] Cockburn further stated:

They are going to destroy 40 years of work building up Yorkhill as a unique centre for treating mothers and babies. If the Queen Mother's closes, they will destroy Yorkhill’s service for very young babies. Neonatologists - the doctors who treat them - will scatter. No neonatologist will stay at a hospital where babies are not born. They will not be able to keep up their skill and expertise.[5]
