Dr Anthony Toft, CBE, LVO, MD, FRCPDr Anthony Toft, CBE, LVO, MD, FRCP, was a source of wise counsel to The Thyroid Trust from our early days, giving one of our first patient talks which has since been made into a popular Thyroid Trust Information Video #ToftTalk.

Dr Toft was a Consultant Physician with an interest in Endocrinology, and especially thyroid disease, at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh from 1978 until he retired from the NHS in 2009. He has been President of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, President of the British Thyroid Association and between 1996 and 2009, Physician to Her Majesty the Queen in Scotland. He retired from private practice in March 2019. He has published widely in the most prestigious medical journals and textbooks on the clinical management of patients with thyroid disease. His book ‘Understanding Thyroid Disorders’, written for patients and published by the British Medical Association, has sold over 250 thousand copies.
He was appointed CBE for services to Medicine in 1995 and LVO in 2009. His clinical interests are Endocrinology, General medicine, Parathyroid disease, Pituitary disease and Thyroid disease. He has considerable experience in all aspects of endocrinology, his major contributions to the literature lie in the field of thyroid disease (hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, goitre, thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer). He is particularly interested in identifying those patients with hypothyroidism who might benefit from treatment with both Levothyroxine (T4) and Liothyronine (T3) (Triiodothyronine), rather than with the usual treatment of Levothyroxine alone. In December 2017 he wrote a powerful article published in The Journal of the Royal College of Physicians Edinburgh entitled 'Thyroid hormone replacement - a counterblast to guidelines'.
Dr Toft is now enjoying his retirement from medicine and particularly his garden. We will be eternally grateful for all his support and friendship.
