- David George Arthur Westbury (12 September 1923 – 7 June 1983) was described in his obituary by the Royal College of Psychiatrists as a "founding father of British forensic psychiatry". In 1945, while studying medicine at Guy's Hospital, he assisted at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp as a voluntary medical student. He spent his career in posts at St Audry's Hospital, Melton, Suffolk and then at Hellesdon Hospital, Norwich. After gaining the diploma in psychiatry he was elected member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, and became a fellow soon after. He became a member of the Prison Medical Services in 1964, and was appointed medical officer at HM Prison Durham until 1967, when he joined the Home Office as consultant forensic psychiatrist. In this position, he established the academic discipline of forensic psychiatry in the northern region, and for teenage male offenders, created the forensic psychiatry centre at the Winterton Hospital, Sedgefield. He was a medical member of the Mental Health Review Tribunal and continued to teach his specialty for several years. After his death following a long illness, the David Westbury Centre, an establishment he founded, was named in his honour. (en)
