  • Thomas Vicary Lecture
    THOMAS VICARY LECTURE THE RENAISSANCE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON ENGLISH MEDICINE SURGERY AND PUBLIC HEALTH By Sir Arthur Salusbury MacNalty, K.C.B., M.D., F.R.C.P., F.R.C.S. THOMAS VICARY, Serjeant-Surgeon to King Henry VIII, King Edward VI, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, Master of the Barbers' Company, four times Master of the Barber-Surgeons' Company and Surgeon to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, flourished as England's leading surgeon from 1527 to 1562. His life was passed in stirring times. A new world had been discovered by Columbus. Vicary saw the convulsive change produced by the Reformation and the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the fires at Smithfield and Oxford smoking with the blood of the martyrs, and above all he experienced the influence of the Renaissance and the birth of freedom of thought, individual initiative and action which guided him in his work for British surgery. It was in the times of Thomas Vicary, then, that a new spirit arose in national thought, and amid a despotic rule, much oppression and injustice, it is possible to trace advances in medicine and surgery, in public health, in social medicine and in culture and education. It was not until the value of Greek thought became manifest to the practical Englishman that the influence of the Renaissance became widespread. This heritage was brought to England by a band of Oxford men known as the Humanists. The teaching of Colet, Grocyn and Linacre, together with young Thomas More, made Oxford famous as a seat of learning. Bishop Fox in 1516 founded Corpus Christi College at Oxford in the interests of the new learning, and John Fisher promoted the spread of Hellenic thought at Cambridge.

Withington : Medical History from the earliest times. I have selected for my address an interesting phase of medical history: the first ap­ pearance of modern scientific medicine and its early developments, covering roughly, the period 1500—1700. Actually it is one aspect or phase of a movement of tremendous power and vast significance: the Renaissance. The age of the Renaissance was the transitional period between an old order of tilings and a new. between the medieval period and the modern. It ushered in a new era in practically every sphere of human thought, human activity and human endeavour. It inspired men to embark on perilous adventures which, because they were conducted not only with courage but also with intelligence, led to the discovery of new sea-routes and a new continent. It witnessed such epoch-making inventions as the printing press, the telescope and the microscope. In the vast domain of the physical sciences it signalized the appearance of new principles and new methods that were destined to change the face of the world. It saw the birth of a new art in its many aspects, plastic, pictorial, architectural, etc.

  • A Pilot Study to Assess the Utility of a Freely Downloadable Mobile Application Simulator for Undergraduate Clinical Skills Trai
    Bartlett et al. BMC Medical Education _#####################_ DOI 10.1186/s12909-017-1085-y RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access A pilot study to assess the utility of a freely downloadable mobile application simulator for undergraduate clinical skills training: a single-blinded, randomised controlled trial Richard D. Bartlett1*, Dina Radenkovic1, Stefan Mitrasinovic1, Andrew Cole1, Iva Pavkovic2, Peyton Cheong Phey Denn2, Mahrukh Hussain1, Magdalena Kogler2, Natalia Koutsopodioti1, Wasima Uddin2, Ivan Beckley1, Hana Abubakar2, Deborah Gill1,3 and Daron Smith4 Abstract Background: Medical simulators offer an invaluable educational resource for medical trainees. However, owing to cost and portability restrictions, they have traditionally been limited to simulation centres. With the advent of sophisticated mobile technology, simulators have become cheaper and more accessible. Touch Surgery is one such freely downloadable mobile application simulator (MAS) used by over one million healthcare professionals worldwide. Nevertheless, to date, it has never been formally validated as an adjunct in undergraduate medical education. Methods: Medical students in the final 3 years of their programme were recruited and randomised to one of three revision interventions: 1) no formal revision resources, 2) traditional revision resources, or 3) MAS. Students completed pre-test questionnaires and were then assessed on their ability to complete an undisclosed male urinary catheterisation scenario. Following a one-hour quarantined revision period, all students repeated the scenario. Both attempts were scored by allocation-blinded examiners against an objective 46-point mark scheme. Results: A total of 27 medical students were randomised (n = 9 per group). Mean scores improved between baseline and post-revision attempts by 8.7% (p = 0.003), 19.8% (p = 0.0001), and 15.9% (p = 0.001) for no resources, traditional resources, and MAS, respectively.
