  • 'Women in Medicine & Scottish Women's Hospitals'
    WWI: Women in Medicine KS3 / LESSONS 1-5 WORKSHEETS IN ASSOCIATION WITH LESSON 2: WORKSHEET Elsie Ingis 1864 – 1917 Elsie Inglis was born in 1864, in the small Indian town of Naini Tal, before moving back to Scotland with her parents. At the time of her birth, women were not considered equal to men; many parents hoped to have a son rather than a daughter. But Elsie was lucky – her mother and father valued her future and education as much as any boy’s. After studying in Paris and Edinburgh, she went on to study medicine and become a qualified surgeon. Whilst working at hospitals in Scotland, Elsie was shocked to discover how poor the care provided to poorer female patients was. She knew this was not right, so set up a tiny hospital in Edinburgh just for women, often not accepting payment. Disgusted by what she had seen, Elsie joined the women’s suffrage campaign in 1900, and campaigned for women’s rights all across Scotland, with some success. In August 1914, the suffrage campaign was suspended, with all efforts redirected towards war. But the prejudices of Edwardian Britain were hard to break. When Elsie offered to take an all-female medical unit to the front in 1914, the War Office told her: “My good lady, go home and sit still.” But Elsie refused to sit still. She offered help to France, Belgium and Serbia instead – and in November 1914 dispatched the first of 14 all-women medical units to Serbia, to assist the war effort. Her Scottish Women’s Hospitals went on to recruit more than 1,500 women – and 20 men – to treat thousands in France, Serbia, Corsica, Salonika, Romania, Russia and Malta.

  • Autumn 2016 Meeting Booklet
    Welcome Message from the ISR President Dr Sandy Fraser Dear Colleagues and Friends I have great pleasure in welcoming you all to The Killashee Hotel Naas for this year’s ISR Autumn Meeting. The programme for this year’s autumn meeting has been put together by our colleagues in Beaumont hospital, Dr Donough Howard, Dr Grainne Kearns and Dr Paul O’Connell and I think you will agree that it is a fascinating agenda addressing topics which are of interest to all of us. I look forward with great interest to hear the thoughts of Professor Dennis McGonagle , Professor of Investigative Rheumatology, Leeds Institute of Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Medicine and indeed Dr Bruce Kirkham, consultant Rheumatologist at Guys and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. Professor Sean Gaine from The Mater Misericordiae Hopital Dublin will present on the current management of pulmonary hypertension and Dr. Patrick Kiely from St Georges Hospital London will help us to pick the right biologic for our patients. Finally Professor Donal O’Shea from St. Vincents Hospital Dublin will address the issue of obesity and its relationship to inflammation. During the year the work of the ISR has continued unabated and Professor David Kane, as National Programme Director, has continued to develop the National Rheumatology Programme with consensus and inclusivity core to the process. The steering group (CAG – Clinical Advisory Group) for the programme is open to all members of the ISR and the last meeting at the spring meeting in Cork was very well attended and very productive and there was a great deal of agreement regarding the direction the programme should lead.

An investigation of experiences of reading for mental health and well-being and their relation to models of bibliotherapy Elizabeth Brewster A study submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield Information School September 2011 ii Abstract Bibliotherapy is the use of imaginative or self-help literature as an intervention for mental health problems. It aims to provide psycho-social support and treatment and is used with individuals or in a group. Bibliotherapy has come to prominence in the UK over the past decade. Bibliotherapy schemes mainly operate in partnership between the public library and the NHS. Previous research on bibliotherapy has focused on the quantitative effectiveness of the intervention or anecdotal report of individual successes. Evaluation of current schemes and qualitative investigation of the views of those experiencing bibliotherapy have been neglected in previous research, providing the rationale for this thesis. The thesis argues that because there have been shortcomings in previous research, there are differences in the understanding between those managing bibliotherapy schemes, and those using the schemes.
