Lecturer in Medical Jurisprudence, QUB. He was the pioneer of blood transfusion in Northern Ireland and was also responsible for the early development of the whole discipline of clinical pathology (particularly haematology and microbiology). Sir Thomas had gained considerable experience of treating casualties in the First World War with blood transfusion and he established a voluntary Blood Transfusion Service at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast, later to be called the Belfast Blood Transfusion Service. Blood was provided by a small panel of a few hundred voluntary donors, mainly organised through the police. In those days all aspects of blood transfusion, including administration to patients, were carried out by Dr Houston and his team in the laboratory. In 1948 the staff of the RVH presented Sir Thomas with a portrait of himself painted by Frank McKelvey RHA. The Ulster Medical Journal of 01/11/1948 contains a professional tribute to Sir Thomas’ contribution to medicine in Northern Ireland and beyond. Born 1869. Son of James Dick and Anne Houston, Coleraine.
