[An unsuccessful attempt to move the medical faculty in Edinburgh to Poland].
In the years 1945-1947 attempts were made to move the Medical Faculty from Edinburgh to Poland. The main supporter of this idea was, among others, Professor Antoni Jurasz, a leading authority among Polish medical circles in the West. This concept was taken up by the Polish government in Warsaw. Prof. dr Edward Grzegorzewski, the representative of the Department of Education and the person then dealing with the formation of the Doctors' Academy in Gdańsk, tried to bring this concept to fruition. These endeavours were unsuccessful. However, the return of staff to Poland, particularly of professors, from the Medical Faculty in Edinburgh was a success. The execution of this project turned out to be unsuccessful when confronted by the political reality existing at that time.
