Downloaded from 498 THE BRITISH JOURNAL OF OPHTHALMOLOGY THE ROYAL WESTMINSTER OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL AND ITS STAFF IN THE PAST BY ADRIAN CADDY LONDON As the five ophthalmic hospitals in London have been rebuilt within recent years I have thought that it might be of interest to record something of the members of the Staff of the Royal Westminster Ophthalmic Hospital during the early period of its existence and of the various hospital buildings in which they worked. The first hospital in London specially devoted to diseases of the eye was the " London Infirmary for curing biseases of the Eye " opened in 1805 at 40 Charterhouse Street, thle forerunner of the present Moorfields Eye Hospital. An evye hospital was opened "under Royal Patronage in Westminster 8' in 1804-5 but it seems to have collapsed. In 1816, Guthrie, who had served through the Peninsular War as an Army Surgeon, succeeded in influencing tlhe Duke of Wellington to help in the founding of an eye hospital. Both had been much shocked at the amount of eye disease among by copyright. the troops in the Peninsula. A notice of the proposed infirmarv was published in the Morning Chronicle for Saturday, December 7, 1816. A framed copy of the newspaper exists in the Secretary's office at the Royal Westminster Ophthalmic Hospital. In it occurs the following: " THATCHED HOUSE TAVERN, 5th December, 1816. The Right Honourable Lord LYNEDOCH in the Chair. http://bjo.bmj.com/ At a numerous meeting of NOBLEMEN and GENTLEMEN, it was proposed to establish an INFIRMARY for the CURE of DISEASES of the EYE in the western part of the Metropolis, for the relief of the poor and as a school of instruction, certain resolutions were adopted to promote this most important object and a Committee appointed to make the necessary arrangements for the establishment of the Institution.

  • Venereology at the Polyclinic: Postgraduate Medical Education Among General Practitioners in England, 1899–1914
    Med. Hist. (2015), vol. 59(2), pp. 199–221. c The Author 2015. Published by Cambridge University Press 2015 doi:10.1017/mdh.2015.3 Venereology at the Polyclinic: Postgraduate Medical Education Among General Practitioners in England, 1899–1914 ANNE HANLEY* Faculty of History, University of Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge CB2 1RH, UK Abstract: In 1899 the British Medical Journal enthusiastically announced that a new postgraduate teaching college was to open in London. The aim of the Medical Graduates’ College and Polyclinic (MGC) was to provide continuing education to general practitioners. It drew upon emerging specialisms and in so doing built upon the generalist training received at an undergraduate level. Courses were intended to refresh knowledge and to introduce general practitioners to new knowledge claims and clinical practices. The establishment of postgraduate institutions such as the MGC marked an important stage in the development of medical education in England. Yet these institutions, and the emergence of postgraduate medical education more broadly, have been largely overlooked by historians. Moreover the history of venereological training among medical undergraduates and postgraduates alike has been overlooked. The study of such special subjects characterised postgraduate study. This article examines the dissemination of venereological knowledge among subscribers to MGC as an important case study for the development of institutionalised postgraduate medical education in England at the turn of the twentieth century.

  • Medicine, Knowledge and Venereal Diseases in England
    medicine and biomedical sciences in modern history sciences in modern biomedical and medicine MEDICINE, KNOWLEDGE AND VENEREAL DISEASES IN ENGLAND, 1886–1916 ANNE R. HANLEY Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in Modern History Series Editors Carsten Timmermann University of Manchester United Kingdom Michael Worboys University of Manchester United Kingdom Aim of the series The aim of this series is to illuminate the development and impact of medicine and the biomedical sciences in the modern era. The series was founded by the late Professor John Pickstone, and its ambitions refl ect his commitment to the integrated study of medicine, science and technology in their contexts. He repeatedly commented that it was a pity that the foundation discipline of the fi eld, for which he popularized the acronym ‘HSTM’ (History of Science, Technology and Medicine) had been the his- tory of science rather than the history of medicine. His point was that historians of science had too often focused just on scientifi c ideas and insti- tutions, while historians of medicine always had to consider the under- standing, management and meanings of diseases in their socio-economic, cultural, technological and political contexts. In the event, most of the books in the series dealt with medicine and the biomedical sciences, and the changed series title refl ects this. However, as the new editors we share Professor Pickstone’s enthusiasm for the integrated study of medicine, sci- ence and technology, encouraging studies on biomedical science, transla- tional medicine, clinical practice, disease histories, medical technologies, medical specialisms and health policies. The books in this series will pres- ent medicine and biomedical science as crucial features of modern culture, analysing their economic, social and political aspects, while not neglect- ing their expert content and context.
