This year marks the 40th anniversary of the National Kidney Research Fund.
For more than 40 years, Professor Mollie McGeown has been at the top of the renal field, working as a nephrologist. She is best known for pioneering the correct use of steroids in post operative transplant patients in the 1960s.
The renal unit at the Belfast City hospital is named after her, and, at 78 she is still working and heavily involved in the Northern Ireland Kidney Research Fund.
Professor Mollie McGeown took a complex and frequently blocked career path, via paediatrics and biochemistry, to emerge as a pioneer in kidney dialysis and transplantation.
Henrietta Otley joined Mollie for a nostalgic look through her scrapbooks.
