Message from David Carrington

We are grateful to David Carrington, Consultant at St George's, for his message on the UK Clinical Virology Network:

It is with great sadness that we hear of the death of William Tong who died suddenly last Tuesday night. William was a well known and highly respected senior medical virologist and a personal friend to many colleagues home and abroad who universally found him engaging, friendly, organised and professional.

William will be greatly missed. We will particularly miss his smile, his counsel. and his expertise in the clinic and the laboratory.

He will be remembered particularly for his dedication to medical education, clinical virology training and as Chief Examiner in Medical Virology for the Royal College of Pathologists.
