John (“Jock”) Burgess Metcalfe

We would like to correct two errors that appeared in the obituary of John (“Jock”) Burgess Metcalfe (BMJ 2002;324:1587). Dr Metcalfe and his first wife, Marion, were appointed principals in Madeley in Shropshire, not Madeley in Staffordshire, as printed. The author of the obituary was Marion Metcalfe, not Ronwyn Metcalfe. The BMJ would like to apologise for any distress caused by these errors.
