For many years it had been felt that there was a need for a Society in Scotland primarily devoted to the study of the History of Medicine and its allied Sciences. Such a Society came into being on 23rd April 1948, when a well attended and representative gathering of medical men and other interested persons from all over Scotland met in the Hall of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. It was then agreed to constitute the Society and to call it "The Scottish Society of the History of Medicine." A Constitution was drawn up and Office-Bearers for the ensuing year were elected. From this beginning the Society has grown steadily and now has a membership of some hundred persons. After the business of this Preliminary 1\1 eeting had been carried through, the Medical Superintendent of the Royal Infirmary of Dundee, Dr. Henry J. C.

  • The Nightingale Society [email protected]
    The Nightingale Society www.nightingalesociety.com [email protected] Who Was Florence Nightingale and What Did She Do for Scotland? by Lynn McDonald, for the Nightingale Society Nightingale was the major founder of the modern profession of nursing, a health care pioneer, originally famous for leading the first team of British women to nurse in war, the Crimean War of 1854-56. The Bicentenary of her birth (May 12, 1820) will be celebrated in 2020, we hope not just during Nursing Week, but throughout the year, with a new look at her key ideas and their relevance today. While Nightingale was well known in her lifetime, and for a long time after it, she is now often mis-represented. Her best-known book, Notes on Nursing, came out in 1860, the same year that her training school opened. She wrote many books and reports, on nursing, hospital safety, and health care more broadly. She is also a major pioneer of evidence-based health care. She was instrumental in getting professional nursing into the workhouse infirmaries, the first step towards their becoming regular hospitals. The National Health Service could hardly have begun operations in 1948 without the great improvements made in the old workhouses, when 80% of hospital patients went to them. Nightingale believed in quality care for all, regardless of ability to pay. She was instrumental in making nursing an attractive, well-paid career, when “nurses” had been disreputable hospital employees, mainly cleaners, and often drunk. However, she considered that the “cardinal sin” of unreformed nursing was demanding bribes from patients.

  • Alan Gibb (1919-2020)
    OBITUARY Alan Gibb (1919-2020) lan Gibb, who passed away on 5 September aged 101, was Athe Grand Old Man of British Otology. He slipped quietly away at home on Deeside from the long-term consequences of a stroke about two years ago, from which he had initially made a partial recovery. He was a Consultant at Dundee Royal Infirmary and then at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee, from 1950 until he retired in 1984. He built up and headed a department of outstanding clinical excellence and an internationally recognised teaching centre. He was also a man of utter integrity and humility and a selfless professional. He was born in Aberdeen to a medical family. Both his parents were GPs; his mother the first female GP in Aberdeen. As a child, his adenoids were removed by his father with his mother administering the anaesthetic. Alan was the youngest sibling. His two elder sisters, Margaret and Muriel, were both centenarians: Muriel was an Otolaryngologist in Ayr and lived to 105, and Margaret a GP who lived to 101. After Aberdeen Grammar School and MBChB at Aberdeen University, Alan was first exposed to ENT at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. He did National Service with the RAMC as a Specialist Otologist, spending a year in West Africa and achieving the rank of Major. On return to Britain, he qualified FRCS from the Edinburgh College. Training Alan Gibb posts followed in Aberdeen and Carlisle before his appointment as Consultant to Dundee Royal Infirmary (later Ninewells His thoughts and otological practice were the Executive Committee of the Scottish Hospital), Maryfield Hospital Dundee, also shaped by friendship of the Houses, Association for the Deaf, and a member Bridge of Earn Hospital and Perth Royal Harold Schuknecht and John Shea.
