When the British Association of Urological Surgeons was founded in 1945, 2 female founder members registered. One of these was Helen Wingate, Associate Specialist in Urology at Glasgow Royal Infirmary and Consultant Urologist and General Surgeon at Redlands Hospital for Women, and a pioneer of women in urology. The early days of urology as a specialty at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, and the pioneering role played by Dr Wingate as a female consultant in a new surgical speciality are described in this article.
