Richard Titmuss succeeded Ryle and under his leadership, book reviews were no longer present in the journals, each article in each issue began having designated methods, discussion, results, and the qualitative aspect of social medicine formerly represented by the book reviews was now being represented by articles in the issue.
The concept of gifting with regards to body parts or fluids was first analyzed by Richard Titmuss in his book titled The Gift Relationship: from Human Blood to Social Policy.
He held his chair from 1950, after brief spells in the Cabinet Office and the Social Medicine Research Unit, until his death in 1973.

He is honoured in the Richard Titmuss Chair in Social Policy at the LSE, which is currently held by Julian Le Grand.
