The Edinburgh History of Medicine Group allows those
interested in social and medical history to enjoy some talks and
to interact with medical practitioners and medically-trained historians
at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh.
The 12th, 2009–10 season looks particularly strong. We hope
anyone with either a general interest in medical history or a particular
interest in any of the topics on the programme will come along to
the College at 9 Queen Street for the Wednesday meetings which are
promoted jointly by the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh
and the University of Edinburgh.
Refreshments are available from 4.00pm; the seminars begin at 4.30pm
and should finish around 5.45pm.
If you can’t attend any of the meetings look out for podcasts
on the RCPE website.

Admission to the
seminars is free |
