History of urology, urological surgery and John Hunter Lecture

This meeting of the year is devoted to the history of urological surgery, organised in conjunction with the Hunterian Society. The second lecture, John Hunter Lecture honours the lasting contributions of Hunter to surgical and medical science and practice.

This event will have a special appeal to surgeons, urologists, medical technologists and engineers. Additionally, a wide range of non-medical professionals will also be interested in these two presentations.  

Attendees can expect to:

• Understand something of the broad cultural history of urology, especially from an examination of artistic representations   
• Become aware of early techniques of surgical urology and their subsequent contribution to the development of the specialty
• Appreciate the breadth, depth and enthusiasm for the work of John Hunter and his continuing relevance

The History of Medicine Society was founded in 1912 by Sir William Osler, its first President. These talks continue to reveal the importance of learning from the lessons of the past to apply to the present and future. The Society reaches out, inter alia, to clinicians of every specialty (including students), medical scientists, health care professionals, and other interested professionals and members of the general public (e.g. journalists and teachers).
