Following in the footsteps of Victor Horsley, the 'father of British neurosurgery', Hugh Cairns continued the tradition ofgreat neurosurgeons associated with the Royal Army Medical Corps. He was a central figure in the acceptance of neurosurgery as a specialty in its own right in Britain, was instrumental in the foundation of Oxford University Medical School, and can legitimately claim to have significantly improved mortality figures in neurosurgical casualties in the Second World War. He was also the driving force in the acceptance of crash helmets for motorcyclists, which have substantially reduced the mortality rates of motorcyclists in those countries in which they have been introduced.
休·凯恩斯追随“英国神经外科之父”维克多·霍斯利的脚步，延续了与皇家陆军医疗队相关的伟大神经外科医生的传统。他是英国将神经外科视为一门独立专业的核心人物，对牛津大学医学院的创立起到了推动作用，并且有理由声称在二战中显著降低了神经外科伤员的死亡率。他也是促使摩托车手接受防撞头盔的推动力量，在引入防撞头盔的国家，这大幅降低了摩托车手的死亡率。
