Our history
Learn how the RSM, established in 1805 in the back two rooms of a barristers’ chambers at Gray’s Inn, grew from humble beginnings to take up residence in London’s medical quarter.
Sarah Hughes, a journalist, died from breast cancer on Easter Monday 2021 at the age of 48. Her family and friends have raised funds for an annual lecture to be held under the auspices of the RSM History of Medicine Society.
Sarah was a history graduate from St Andrews University and was fascinated by, studied and wrote about the human condition in all it's manifestations, good or bad, real or imagined. Medicine in it's broad historical sense is a study of mankind, the science of human life and wellbeing.
The Sarah Hughes Lecture will be delivered by Dame Marina Warner, DBE, CBE, FRSL, FBA who is an English historian, mythographer, art critic, novelist and short story writer. She will be in conversation with Dr Gavin Francis, a Scottish physician and a writer on travel and medical matters.
This session will also include the presentation of the Sarah Hughes Trust Prize in conjunction with the Medical Journalist Association. This prize is for emerging or established journalists working with healthcare practitioners, or media outlets that expose the use of false or misleading information (so-called 'fake news') in health and medicine. The purpose of the prize is to further educational activities between journalists and healthcare practitioners, while taking into account both equality and diversity.
