Due to the success of last year’s webinar series, the History of Medicine Society within the Royal Society of Medicine will continue to explore the nature of medical history in a second series commencing in October 2022.
This is Part 2 of the two-part Mind and body: Module 1.
This webinar will look at the history of vaccinations from various perspectives referencing smallpox and how it led to a new era of preventative medicine. It will also look at two forgotten case studies aiming to encourage research in medical history and its value in developing medical history.
Participants will be able to:
- Review the development of vaccinations
- Discuss how vaccinations influence the wider field of preventative medicine
- Acknowledge the role of vaccination within medical history
- Chart the development of forensic psychiatry as a distinct specialism
- Discuss the influence of research within the medical field
- Acknowledge the role of vaccination within medical history
The first part of this module will focus on the emerging specialism of forensic psychiatry and how it informs the most recent history of the broader subject. Also, identify how persons and places are selected to promote interest, relevance, and further study, and discuss the value of the role of the individual in terms of the views and ideas they have held.

Each session is led by a renowned expert who will discuss key developments within their respective specialism in ways which promote both an innovative appreciation of medical history as well as encourage future scholarship. There are two lectures of 40 minutes which will continue to be delivered online. However, participants are again encouraged to engage fully with each speaker through an interactive question and answer facility.
This season will aim at expanding the discussion relating to what we mean by medical history by moving away from its more traditional model in order to appreciate its continued relevance within both a formal and informal setting. Please note that whilst the programme is designed to be complementary to previous sessions, earlier attendance is not a prerequisite for participation. International audiences continue to be warmly welcomed.
This webinar is available for on-demand viewing. The webinar recording will be available for registered event participants up to 60 days after the live webinar broadcast via Zoom. The link will be sent 24 hours after the webinar takes place.
