Gotch was Burdon Sanderson's assistant at University College, London, and later at Oxford, before succeeding him as Waynflete Professor of Physiology at Oxford. Gotch remarked, in the article he contributed to the D.N.B on Burdon Sanderson: "In 1874 he succeeded William Sharpey as Jodrell professor of physiology at University College. The courses of practical teaching which he organised in that capacity served as models for instruction in the medical currciulum of the country." See Garrison-Morton 1420.1 and 1525.1 for Gotch's own contributions to physiology.
