Tony Waldron (died January 2021) was a British

London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, and a consultant physician at University College Hospital and St Mary's Hospital.[1]
He wrote a number of books on bioarchaeology, including the widely used textbooks Palaeoepidemiology (2007) and Palaeopathology (2009).

Career

Waldron studied medicine at the

visiting professor positions at Linköping University, Uppsala University, the Shiga University of Medical Science, and Kyoto University.[1]

As a physician, Waldron worked as a consultant at Great Ormond Street Hospital, University College Hospital (1980–1988), and St Mary's Hospital (1988–2008).[1][2] In letters to The Guardian and The Times, he criticised the management of the National Health Service (NHS) for disregarding the occupational health of hospital workers,[3] and the government for appointing non-experts to leadership roles,[4] and ultimately left the NHS "after a reform too far".[2]

Waldron was a founding editor of the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology and the editor of the

British Journal of Industrial Medicine from 1980 to 1993.[1] He won a Visiting Professor Award from the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research in 1983.[1]

Bioarchaeology

Waldron was an expert on

St Mary Graces, St. Bride's Lower Cemetery, and the crypt at Christ Church, Spitalfields.[1]

He also wrote several papers on the history of palaeopathology, including biographies of Roy Lee Moodie[18] and Calvin Wells.[19]
