Congratulations to my phenomenal wife @FrancesMair on becoming one of the top 1% of highly cited researchers in the world!!!
Also congratulations to my @UofGlasgow cardiology colleagues on the same list - John Cleland, John McMurray and Naveed Sattar (and all their teams)
Nice to see #generalpractice #primarycare #research #Scotland recognised as on @Clarivate #HighlyCited2023 list. But really need a Team award as all publications due to the work of large often interdisciplinary teams @gppcglasgow @UofGlasgow, nationally and internationally. 🙏
