  • Scottish Oral History Centre 2015 Report
    The Centre for the Social History of Health and Healthcare Health and health-related oral history archives. Report, 26 May 2015 Dr David Walker (SOHC) This scoping out project began on 05 January 2015 and concluded on 30 April 2015 and was undertaken by Dr David Walker (Scottish Oral History Centre, University of Strathclyde). The aim of the project was to make more accessible a rich vein of existing historical evidence on health history and health cultures in Scotland through a systematic survey of extant oral evidence across archives, libraries, museums and private collections across the country. The resulting data set may be useful to: a) Staff who may be considering research and/or research funding bids based on such oral evidence b) Students for UG and Masters dissertations and PhD theses c) Partnerships with HLF groups, museums and heritage centres The project was conducted by searching on-line catalogues, visiting archives and using email and telephone to make contact with those most likely to own or know of oral history sources. This included various academic and archive staff working within Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Glasgow Caledonian, Strathclyde, Stirling, and West of Scotland universities. Contact was also made with East Dunbartonshire Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverclyde and Culture NL (North Lanarkshire) museums as well as the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre and the National Mining Museum. Contact was also made with Lothian Health Services, Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board, the Royal College of Nursing, the UK Centre for the History of Nursing and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in both Glasgow and Edinburgh.

  • The Physician's Tale
    The physician’s tale Travels with the Medical Pilgrims 1928–2011 Foreword This is the third edition of accounts (Scribes’ Reports) of the Medical Pilgrims since the first volume was published in 1997 by RCP Publications. That first volume was collated by Clifford Hawkins. Sadly he died before finishing the task, which was completed by Alasdair Geddes and Robert Mahler. Subsequently, a further volume of eight Pilgrimages 1996–2003, edited by Robert Mahler was published in 2003 (see Editor’s note from that volume on page 159). Rather than producing a further update, Pilgrims agreed to a full compilation from 1928–2010 in a single volume which could then be made available on the internet and updated regularly. This contains 75 Scribe’s Reports (there were no meetings during the second World War and the first post war meeting was held at the London Hospital in 1948). The original purpose of the Medical Pilgrims was to visit centres of medical excellence and get to know leading continental physicians. Eight of the first ten Pilgrimages were to centres outside Great Britain and Ireland, seven to Continental Europe and one to America. Only three of the ten post war Pilgrimages were to Europe. However, although the pre-war pattern was temporarily re-established in the late 50s and 60s, the subsequent three decades saw 25 of 30 Pilgrimages within the UK and Ireland. From 2000, a more eclectic approach of earlier Pilgrimages has become established with an informal commitment to one in three Pilgrimages being undertaken outside the UK. The Medical Pilgrims are not an entity and there are no accounts to audit.
