After education at Marlborough College, he matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford, where in 1928 he graduated BA in natural sciences. He then studied at the medical college of St Bartholomew's Hospital, where he was influenced by Walter Langdon-Brown, Thomas Horder, and Francis Fraser. He graduated BM BCh in 1931 from the University of Oxford. He qualified MRCP in 1933.[3] He first joined his father, Dr Maitland Bodley Scott, in his medical practice in Bournemouth, but soon returned to St Bartholomew's Hospital as chief assistant to Alexander Edward Gow (1884–1952).[1] R. Bodley Scott's work on bone marrow aspiration formed the basis of his higher DM thesis in 1937 at the University of Oxford. In 1939 he, in collaboration with A. H. T. Robb-Smith, described the clinical manifestations of malignant histiocytosis.[3]
When WWII began, Scott had just obtained an appointment as consultant physician to the Memorial Hospital, Woolwich.[3] He joined the RAMC and early in 1941 was posted to the Middle East, where he served for four and a half years. There he was promoted in 1942 to lieutenant-colonel in charge of medicine in the 63rd General Hospital in Cairo.[1] After demobilisation, he was appointed in 1946 a full physician at St Bartholomew's Hospital.[3] He became a leading expert on leukaemia[4] and cancer chemotherapy.[5]
Scott was elected FRCP in 1943. He was appointed in 1949 physician to the Household of King George VI and in 1952 physician to Queen Elizabeth II. He was made KCVO in 1964 and GVCO in 1973. He was consultant physician to several institutions.[3]
He was interested in literature, contributing an article to the Lancet on ‘The doctor in contemporary literature’ — an amusing look at doctors in the detective novels he enjoyed. He also wrote a little on the history of medicine, contributing a perceptive history of medicine at his own hospital in the first part of the twentieth century to the anniversary commemoration volume produced in 1973.[3]
R. Bodley Scott was president of the Medical Society of London in 1965–1966) and president of the British Society for Haematology in 1966–1967. St Bartholomew's Hospital created in his honour the Sir Ronald Bodley Scott Professorship of Cardiovascular Medicine.[3]
He edited the 10th (1966), 11th (1973), and 12th (1979) editions of Price's Textbook of the Practice of Medicine. From the 1960s until his death in 1982, he was a co-editor of Medical Annual: A Yearbook of Treatment and Practitioners' Index,[3] first with the surgeon R. Milnes Walker, CBE, FRCS and then with Sir John Fraser. Scott's book Cancer: The Facts was published in 1979.
