A Scots university mired in a sexism scandal has appointed a female academic to oversee the medical school.

Dr Margaret McMillan, a renal specialist, will take on the role of interim head of the University of Glasgow faculty, which is regarded as one of the best in the UK, while a permanent replacement is found.

The institution announced last month that Professor John Paul Leach, a consultant neurologist, is to leave his post as head of undergraduate medicine.The university launched an inquiry after a grievance lodged by staff against Prof Leach alleging misogynistic behaviour was upheld.
