Join the History of Medicine Society at this evening meeting as we demonstrate the value of using history as an analytical resource to rethink current health challenges, and produce a new evidence-base that can help shape policy and practice.
We'll clarify the current state of the NHS using an understanding of historical developments and ‘write in’ some of the NHS staff fundamental to the NHS from its inception.
Other topics include:
- What is happening to the NHS and why?
- The reasoning behind the international medical migration into the UK between 1940 and 1980s
- How to demonstrate compassion and acknowledge diversity amongst the clinical workforce
