Marmaduke Sheild was born in 1858 in Landawke, near Laugharne, Carmarthenshire.
Marmaduke Sheild was born in 1858 in Landawke, near Laugharne, Carmarthenshire. In 1875 he began a distinguished student career at Street George"s Hospital winning the Brackenbury Prize and two William Brown Exhibitions before graduating Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1879. After starting as a house surgeon at Street George"s, Sheild then spent three years from 1881 in Cambridge, simultaneously as a house-surgeon at Addenbrooke"s Hospital and an undergraduate at.
During this period he qualified as a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1883.
After leaving Cambridge Sheild held posts at Street George"s as anaesthetist and Westminster Hospital, culminating in a seven-year period at Charing Cross Hospital where he was assistant surgeon, aural surgeon, demonstrator of anatomy and lecturer in practical surgery. In 1893 he returned again to Street George"s, becoming full surgeon in 1900. While practising as a surgeon he also acted as an examiner for Cambridge University and the Society of Apothecaries.
During his career Sheild published many articles and books
His most notable work was a Clinical Treatise on Diseases of the Breast which was published in 1898. Sheild"s career as a surgeon was cut short in 1907 at the age of 49 when he accidentally inoculated himself while operating, resulting in a long illness requiring many operations.
He retired to Budleigh Salterton and during the First World War was sufficiently recovered to be able to provide surgical services at the nearby military hospital at Exmouth. Sheild died on 5 August 1922 in the Hebrides after suffering a seizure.
By his will he established the Marmaduke Sheild Fund at Cambridge University which initially funded the Sheild Readership in Pharmacology and medical scholarships which are awarded to the present day.
In 1946 Cambridge University honoured Sheild by naming its newly established chair in pharmacology in his name.
