Charles Thackrah

Charles Turner Thackrah, MRCS Eng, (born 1795 in Leeds, died 1833) was an English surgeon. He was a pioneer in the field of occupational medicine, and was a founder member of the Leeds School of Medicine. He died of tuberculosis in 1833, at the age of 38.^[1]

A building was opened in his honour and given his name at the University of Leeds in around 2007.

He is not to be confused with Charles Thackray of the Thackray Medical Museum in Leeds.^[2]
